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.

remirg: 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.

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.
Servan, quoted by Foucault in Discipline & Punish, p. 101 (via rosadefuego)
