Everything seems to be only a dream and it is as though I were letting the dream go on talking at random.
Franz Kafka, from The Blue Octavo Notebooks (1917-1919)

DON’T TELL YOUNG KIDS THEY’RE REALLY SMART AND WILL DO WELL AND ARE BETTER THAN OTHER KIDS, THEN GIVE THEM EASY WORK ALL THEIR SCHOOL YEARS

they’ll grow up lazy and smug and then when they get work that actually challenges them they won’t do it, and then because they failed a semester they’ll be consumed with guilt and think their lives are over

just

don’t do it

don’t be like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
