    The studious class are their own victims; they are thin and pale,
    their feet are cold, their heads are hot, the night is without
    sleep, the day a fear of interruption,--pallor, squalor, hunger,
    and egotism. If you come near them and see what conceits they
    entertain--they are abstractionists, and spend their days and
    nights in dreaming some dream; in expecting the homage of society
    to some precious scheme built on a truth, but destitute of
    proportion in its presentment, of justness in its application,
    and of all energy of will in the schemer to embody and vitalize
    it.

From his cradle
He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one,
Exceeding wise, fair-spoken, and persuading;
Lofty and sour to them that loved him not,
But to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.

If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and read more

If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.
