"Why people use "Was" I have heard some people to say "I was a smart kid at school - Eminem", but why "Was", was is a word for describing the past... which will mean that has started and ended... so what??? How to get it now? You aren't wise, are you?"

'You should be asking her out because she's smart, witty, mature beyond her years and every moment in her company makes you want to be a better person - pretty of face should be at the bottom of the list.'

Respect
"True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good--and we all know how rare that is..."

Leadership
"A surfeit of information often hides an untruth, he said, with annoying clarity."
Deception
"I got mixed up with some oddness in my youth, and the long and short of it is that I can't shuffle off this mortal coil until I have read the ten most boring classics."
Commitment
"I don't need you to agree with me," she said quietly." I'll go away happy with a little bit of doubt. Doubt is good. It's an emotion we can build on. Perhaps if we feed it with curiosity it will blossom into something useful, like suspicion - and action."
Curiosity
"I'm sure it's not all hot buttered crumpets out there in the breathing world of asphalt and heartbeats."
Reality
"Those that can be troubled to muse upon the meaning of life are general disappointed when they figure it out."
Meaning
"For myself, I favored the abstract. I collected not just obsolete terms and words, but ideas."
Ideas
"What is without dispute...is that the readers need [the BookWorld] just as much as we need them-to bring order to their apparent chaos, if nothing else."
