Deleted from my Notre Dame statement of intent:
"The on-campus libraries are second to none, and additional access to other sources like the archives of the Folger Shakespeare Library would allow my wife to let me go to school here."
"I intend to study at your fine institution, and I expect a substantial sum of money as payment for the honor of my presence."
"I would relish the opportunity to study with Dr. Pickles and Prof. S. Kraut as I pursue my scholarly studies."
"Make it so, Number One."
"Intellectual support -- is that like a jockstrap for your brain?"
Rach: "Why are all the interesting people assistant professors?"
Me: "Because they're too busy publishing, that's why!"
