In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

My incomplete figure draw final (and probably permanently incomplete) of Saint Sebastian. I used a reference from Andrea Mantegna’s St. Sebastian for the cloth but then gave up bc cloth is hard. Glob need to fix a bunch of stuff but again probably not im just going to sleep through the whole summer.

Orazio de Ferrari, Saint Sebastian, 17th century
A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas; it is at the stable point of reason that he secures the end of the chain; this link is all the stronger in that we do not know of what it is made and we believe it to be our own work; despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerful against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires.
