"Down to General, you go."

"STAT 231, you must confront STAT 231 again"

"Political Science, heh, Geography, heh, a Mathie craves not these things."

[Student]"I won't fail Graphics, I'm not afraid"

[Yoda]"Oh, you will be, you will be."

"Pass or do not, there is no bell."

"Concurrency is the path to the dark side, Concurrency leads to OS, OS leads to Real-time, Real-time leads to Suffering."

[Yoda] "No, no, no, quicker, easier, more seductive."

"Sterile!, Humid!, My office this is!"

"Only a fully trained Mathie with the force as his ally will conquer the Professor and his Dean."
