cool
They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present, they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica, but I didn't take it seriously.

-Dave Van Ronk

education
You can't be afraid of failure and you can't be afraid of success, because either one gets in the way of your work.

-Dave Van Ronk

failure
Honesty is the cruelest game of all, because not only can you hurt someone - and hurt them to the bone - you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time.
