Hello, this is Elisabeth with the Weird-Professor-Quotes-of-the-Day.
"I do not have that parable memorized. Can you believe it?"
"Insane, messy rules. You do not have to memorize them. Well, Elisabeth, you could do it. You need to memorize them, the rest of the class doesn't. Oh, and Anya, you do too."
"'Rapidly' is an ugly word. e. e. cummings used it because he could. He said, 'I can write a sonnet just as well as you and you and you, and I can destroy it, and there's nothing you can do about it, nah nah nah nah nah nah.'"
"Robin, I know your math skills are peerless. Could you count the syllables in this line, please? You can use your fingers."
"OK, Robin, you can use your fingers and toes for this one."
"Imagine you're about fifty, and you have a friend about your age who has a seventeen-year-old daughter, and you're looking for a bride. You go to your friend and say, 'Look, I want a wife so I can leave kids behind me, and your daughter needs a husband in a stable position.' You go down to the bar, and after a couple of cold drinks, it's a done deal."
