But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation. ” ~ Helen Keller

“ some loved poet touch a deep, sweet chord in the soul that until then had been silent. But in college there is no time to commune with one's thoughts. One goes to college to learn, it seems, not to think. When one enters the portals of learning, one leaves the dearest pleasures--Solitude, books and imagination--outside with the whispering pines.
