“The Way of Ignorance and Other Essays”
Wendell Berry
“The essays are all-essay exams. The average American student taking essay exams? Are you kidding me? Oh, that would never happen.”
Victoria Brinton
“Metaphorically these essays move as a quiet but observant coast-guard cutter among the rocks and islands up and down the littoral of our life.”
David McCord
“Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Michael Jordan
“Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire.”
William Blum
“The students turn their applications in to the Dean of Students office, and then all members read the essays without knowing their name or face. And then we vote accordingly.”
William Shaffer
“We're not really looking at how the essay is written. We're looking for someone's essay that appeals to us, who wants to be in the florist shop business and wants to learn.”
