On immortalizing feelings

C.S. Lewis: “Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”

UP Quotes

I was fighting the urge to post these in fear of earning criticism from the readers of this blog, if any. But what the hell, it’s my blog and just took the liberty to proceed…

When I visited Amor’s blog, I saw her post a quotable quote from UP Professors. Finding it quite amusing, I went on to visit the site she has linked on her page. Thus, I have decided to compile various quotes from various UP professors that in one way or another I found funny or relatable. Some might find these quotes obscene; others might find it sarcastic, but for those belonging to the UP community, it is something that we could all laugh together at.
