(if I am not in my office I may be: getting lunch, at the mail room, walking slowly back to the office, speaking with students, or at a meeting.  It is always best to check with me prior to just showing up, perhaps even, to ensure you get as much time as possible, email me using the form above, and set up a time - in order that I am early and prepared.  I have always had an open door policy, and for students - anytime.  After all, the reason we are here is for students.)

 

 

 

Office Location:
- First faculty bungalow as you walk up the sidewalk across from Book Buyback on left side. 
- Brahma Cafe - there is a sidewalk that runs along the left side of Brahma
Cafe, follow it up and pass the first bungalow.
- Stop at the 1st bungalow - Faculty Office 3100 - enter ...and as you do, turn to your right, first door.

non ragioniam di lor, ma guarda e passa  - Dante, Inferno, canto iii

"I was afraid of battle, so I die without peace,"   - Epic of Gilgamesh

 


“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.  The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

 

​"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."
- John Stuart Mill

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.   Winston Churchill.

 

​

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.  - Thomas Jefferson

 

​

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. - Pericles

 

​

They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, "You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it." No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle. 
- Abraham Lincoln, seventh debate, Alton Illinois - October 15, 1858

And from Einstein when asked how many feet are in a mile:  "I don't know, why should I fill my brain with facts I can find in two minutes in any standard reference book?"

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. "
