About This Quote

It's the first day of the first class at a college and the professor, who has already seen a couple of his students smoking cigarettes and talking back, is on the verge of losing his temper. Before he does, one student, who has been hanging out in the back of the class with some friends, gets up and says: “This is bullshit. If we're going to be creative, we have to be able to live with people as they are. We can't just create people as we want them to be. We have to live with them as they are and sometimes accept things we don't like.” The professor nods and says: “It's a good point.”
