“A university is not, thank heavens, a place for vocational instruction, it has nothing to do with training for a working life and career, it is a place for education, something quite different.”

“Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind.”

“Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.”

“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.”

“Nowhere and oblivion were completely different things/places to Richard Stein. Forhim, oblivion is when something goes into nothing and nowhere is the place wheresomething can come out of nothing.”

“One can be one's own ghost and roam about in various places, sometimes many places simultaneously. Perhaps I didn't approach it quite correctly. A ghost is always the result of botched work; a ghost means unsuccessful resurrection, a shadow of an image that has perhaps once been alive, a kind of abortion in the universe.”
