Quote from Philip in All Guts, No Glory
Philip: Man, this brings back memories. I bet you was in the top of your class at Princeton, huh? Actually, far from it. I was spinning my wheels until I met Matthew Langford. Will: Oh, who's that, one of your professors? Philip: Oh, not "one." The professor. Man changed my life. Turned a skinny kid from South Carolina into the man you see today. And you know how? He challenged me. Will: To what? A pie-eating contest? Philip: No, to having a fool as a nephew. I have this theory. I believe that everyone in college has one special teacher that... That gives him an insight, a glimpse into who they really are. You be on the lookout, Will. Will: I think I found that dude already, Uncle Phil. Philip: Already? [chuckles] I was in my third year before I found Professor Langford.
