"I hate the idea that when it comes to books and learning, hard is often seen as the opposite of fun. It’s strange to me that we should be so quick to give up on a book or a math oproblem when we are s willing to grapple for centuries if needed on a single level of Angry Birds. When I was a student, why was I so willing to work hard much much too hard to make people like me and so unwilling to work hard to read great novels or comprehend the edgelessness of the universe… The search is a pleasure, and a difficult one, as most great pleasures are."

John Green, On Cuties and Cooties (via thrownawayhours)
