So I have this minor...
I adore my English professor.
He had found a tiny book of Shakespeare that once belonged to his grandfather. He was so amazed that he had this to say on the subject:
"He read Shakespeare! Pocket-sized!!"
On Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and the aftermath of the assassination in Rome:
"Everyone was trying to turn into CNN.
But they didn't have TV, so no one knew what was going on."
Honestly though, these quotes positively don't do him any justice. He just does things like, we'll read one of our 17th Century poems and he'll say, "Now. Was that worth our time? Why did I make you read that? So we can all feel good? So we all feel like we can connect to these dead guys?"
Or-
"How much is this poem worth? A dollar? Well. I think it should be worth a million dollars."
Or-
"Does this make sense? Kimberly- is this poem funny? Would you date a guy who wrote a poem to you about that?"
I don't know. I am definitely going to make an effort though to try to record his better thoughts. He is just so fantastic, I wish you could all have a class with him!
