This reminds me of Gov. George Wallace's 1963 inauguration address -- both in tone and general offensiveness.

The students in this organization get very adult opportunities, and they are expected to act like adults. I know it's build season, but please remember not to use language that you wouldn't use in front of grandma. (I guess if you say those words in front of your grandmothers, I just don't know what else to say)

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
