"When I was in high school, I dealt with algebra like eating peanuts. In college, algebra swallowed me in whole and spewed me like a piece of shit."
"When I was in college, I helped my theology teacher ease her burdens by not attending her class more often and keeping my mouth shut during her lectures."
"Fiestas are the most dull moment one can find in this world. There's a lot of people around but there's no one to talk to. Grrrrr!!"
"Failure to point out your mistakes and shortcomings in front of yourself is far much lighter than criticizing them in front of the public. If you can't overcome it, you'll rot where you stand."
"There's more politics in there than the dying stuff, brother. I have already 'gave them a favor' by playing bullshit to the people who developed me to be a proud countryman. Now you wanna give me to the wolves?"
"A family is an organization whose members have minds which has their own independent dynamism. You shouldn't control them; their way of thinking are the wings of their ideas to the skies of creativity. Parents' responsibility doesn't stop i...n feeding, clothing and sheltering them, but has the task of helping their kids' comprehension of what is good and bad (and judging what is good and bad is a very different matter), of persuading and convincing and proving to them that your ideas are correct (and, determining the correctness of your idea is again a very different matter), not by imposing to them and forcing them to follow you simply because you are their parent. That's a parent's most important task--a very colossal task."
