To be born woman is to know - although they do not speak of it at school - women must labor to be beautiful.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.

This age thinks better of a gilded fool Than of a threadbare saint in wisdom's school.

Novels are the Socratic dialogues of our time. Practical wisdom fled from school wisdom into this liberal form.

When I was in high school there was 'Superbad' and 'The Girl Next Door' and 'Wedding Crashers' and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that's smart funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like 'Superbad.' That movie was so good and so funny.

No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.
