Is there not an idea in your head sometimes that you must live close to the borders of mental trouble in order to create at your best? Which comes first your health or your work?
— -Scott Fitzgerald to Zelda Fitzgerald, 1933 (?)
This is also for the people who wake early to watch flowers bloom; who notice the moon at noon on a day when the world has slapped them in the face with its lack of light.
— Andrea Gibson
Reasons why I didn’t do my English essay:
- “If you don’t have passion for something, you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” - Lee Alexander McQueen
I don’t want to learn in a classroom anymore. I want to travel and talk to people and learn that way. I want to learn as I go, gathering knowledge and not being rigorously tested on it. I don’t want to lose passion in the things I like because of the worry of exams. I want to fuelled by snippets of knowledge I gain from people and be inquisitive. School has stolen my passion for the things I’m interested in and I hate it for that.
