Acid Quote by Nick Flynn
“I offer Emily half of my hit of acid- Love Saves the Day. It's my second or third time tripping, Emily's first, and she's understandably trepid. Awake all night, at one point I find her touching her reflection in a cruelly lit dorm bathroom, asking if she'll ever be the same. I kiss her then for the first time and whisper, No.”

![“Don't send your kids to Baylor. And don't send your kids to [Texas] A&M... Texas A&M used to be a conservative university. It's lost all of its conservatism… My daughter went there. You know, she had horrible experiences with coed dorms and guys who spent the weekends in the rooms with girls.” quote by Tom DeLay](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1b9/tom-delay-12354_baylor_don-t-send-your-kids-to-baylor-and-don-t_303344.jpg)
