The Importance of Passion in Law and Life
Elle Woods
On my very first day at Harvard, a very wise professor quoted Aristotle, "The law is reason free from passion"; Well, no offence to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard, I have come to find passion is the key ingredient to the study and practice of law, and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world. Remembering that first impressions are not always correct, you must always have faith in people, and most importantly you must always have faith in yourself. Congratulations, Class of 2004... We did it!

The Consequences of Music and Temptation

We're all going to hell for the songs we sing. People listen to them, they're going to hell too. God gave us a great big apple, see, and He said don't touch it.

Don't think about touchin it, don't sing about touchin it, don't think about singin about touchin it!
June Carter

The Complexity of Love and Lies
Juniper
Mud’s a born liar. That’s what makes him so likable. He makes people feel good about themselves. He’s a romantic. I don’t think he means to hurt people. But when people get close to him, that’s what happens. I do love him Ellis. But I can’t spend the rest of my life runnin’ with him. I may not know what kind of life I want, but I know that’s not it.
