F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby (1925)

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticising any one, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby (1925)

Charles Dickens: A Tale Of Two Cities (1859)

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way."


Charles Dickens: A Tale Of Two Cities (1859)

This is tough!

This is tough!

        We start our first day at university have no clue what we're walking into. However, professors are tough as nails. In class, we, students, have to challenge each other to solve some of the most difficult issues relating to our field of study. And in the end, only the smartest, most promising students can prove themselves.

Misogynistic men

Misogynistic men

    Misogynists discriminate against women. They believe that smart, idealistic girls who come to school to help the less fortunate, only to take a corporate job after graduation, which they then quite the second they get pregnant 'cause they'd rather stay home. For the child, of course.

Regret

(Ones or Zer0es)

       Because the others are not like us we cannot trust anyone. Why men never think anything is their fault. Why we never make the same mistake twice we make it five or six times. How do we know if we are in control? That we are not just making the best of what comes at us, trying constantly pick between two options. It's all part of the same blur. Just out of focus enough. It's the illusion of choice. Half of us cannot pick up our own choices. We thought we were doing something good. We thought we were going to be part of something special. We turned out to be a mistake, like everything else.

Books are my passion

Books are my passion

     A good book is like a bag of popcorn; once you start it's impossible to put it down. Books is an important part of our world. They teach us things, make us laugh or make us think. In fact why don't you go and get a book right now! Speaking of books, I've found an interesting historical photo for Mark Twain. He was an American author and humorist. He is noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1885) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876).

It's all about Harry! "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone"

It's all about Harry!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone

 Three Reasons why I adore 
 "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone"

1.To be brilliant, i.e. a great wizard, it's not only books and skills, but it is also about friendship, courage and love. So Hermione Granger was completely right when she said: "  "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things - friendship and bravery ".

Friendship

2. Hermione was so classic, too. Especially when she said: “I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed.” Hermione says it to Ron and Harry just after their encounter with fluffy. I've also noticed that Hermione is continually described based on her intelligence and personality not her appearance.

3. “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.” Professor Dumbledore says this to Harry before the mirror of Erised. 

Professor Dumbledore

The mirror of Erised shows the "deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." The name "Erised" is "desire" spelled backwards, as if reflected in a mirror. According to Dumbledore, the happiest person in the world would look in the mirror and see a reflection of them, exactly as they were. Harry looks in the mirror and sees his dead mother and father. But when he turns around in the room, he sees no one.

Harry's desire to see his parents alive is touching and noble, but overblown desire is dangerous. It can make people lose perspective on life. And that's why Dumbledore advises Harry not to seek out the mirror again.
