naïveté is our dominant mode of experience

"Ambition is the willingness to kill the things you love and eat them to survive. Haven't you read my throw pillow?" — Jack Donaghy. To what extent is this true in your society today?

I feel simultaneously very old and very young and very silly and never wise. 

When I grow old I will embellish my tales with nostalgia but until then I am certain of the circle of melancholy that I will always locate myself in.

I want my cat to scratch someone so I can be like, "oops"

I want to have an audience with a corgi.

I am certain of these: that I will have to leave the country at some point in time, that we enter into binding agreements unconsciously, that the ultimate point of linguistic expression is to discover its own limits.

Spot the hidden assumptions in every question and you will do fine for your exams.
