• I've learned one thing, and that's to quit worrying about stupid things. You have four years to be irresponsible here, relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember the time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So stay out late. Go out with your friends on a Tuesday when you have a paper due on Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.

• On the river path in Boston beauty was most expressed as youth and intelligence. That made sense; sixty degree-giving institutions, some three hundred thousand students; that meant at least one hundred fifty thousand more nubile young women than demographics would ordinarily suggest. Maybe that was why young men stayed in Boston when their college years were over, maybe that explained why they were so intellectually hyperactive, so frustrated, so alcoholic, such terrible drivers.

• Mis escritos derivan de la convicción que concebí durante mis años universitarios: uno debe llevar su vida como si fuera el protagonista de una novela épica, con el desenlace predeterminado y capítulo tras capítulo de acontecimientos edificantes, traumáticos y estimulantes que hay que sufrir. Como el final se conoce de antemano, hay que intentar experimentar lo máximo posible en el breve tiempo asignado. Escribir es una forma de asegurarse de que se presta suficiente atención a lo largo del camino para comprender lo que se ve.

• I was absolutely floored as a lot of people are but also I was reunited with ideas that I actually had as a teenager and these are ideas that I had put away as I approached college years because they were ridiculous on the face of it and when you talk to someone about living forever, they just dismiss you out of hand.

• Durante sus años universitarios, los remeros trabajaban muchas horas, y a menudo se presentaban en el cobertizo a las 6 de la mañana para los entrenamientos previos a las clases. Tanto física como psicológicamente, estaban separados de sus compañeros. Los acontecimientos que les parecían catastróficos -por ejemplo, el descenso del equipo universitario al juvenil- pasaban casi desapercibidos para el resto de los estudiantes. En muchos sentidos, eran como veteranos de combate que volvían de una guerra pequeña, amarga y distante, capaces de hablar sólo con otros veteranos.

• Like many people, I consider myself an incurable romantic, and there is a part of me that will always believe in walking off into the sunset to live happily ever after. When I was younger, like many children, I assumed I would get married, live in a nice house, and have a couple of kids. I also assumed this very traditional achievement would bring me endless happiness and romance. So much so, that during my college years I considered girls engaged by graduation to be the epitome of success. Perhaps needless to say, I was not one of those girls.
