What I miss about college

I miss lots of things about college, waking up at noon, going to class for 2 hours and then doing nothing for the rest of the day, midnight trips to Target/Wal Mart, but mostly what I miss is my sassy English Professor Dr. Peyser. Peyser is so ornery that you just have to laugh. I took to making a list of Peyser Quotes in the back of my notebooks and rereading them whenever I needed a laugh. Luckily for me, though I can no longer get those quotes firsthand, my friend Amy is still in school and is taking a Peyser class. So she has been sending me his quotes.

Here are the first two rounds.

Peyser and Herman Melville and the Romantics:

"It was a spur of the moment thing and it ended in tragedy"

"When Hitler looked at this picture who do you think he thought this guy was?... Hitler!"

"Who cares about culture I'm going to the turkey shoot"

"There's the place in the Thames where Elizabeth and Exeter, blah, blah, blah and a boat."

"Do you think Dickens would be here? No he would be in the City! Balzac? I spit on Balzac!"


Describing his former student-teacher relationship with Professor Parker: "I'm his creature"

On Emerson: "Hitler could read this with Pleasure, so could Obama"


I'll have to look around a little and find my old binders with Peyser Quotes. they are just too funny!
