I look out the chair while eating my pillow. I open the wall, I walk with my ears. I have ten eyes to walk with and two fingers to look with. I put my head on the floor to sit down, I put my bottom on the ceiling. After eating the music box, I spread jam on the rug for a great dessert.

~Eugene Ionesco

Between being governor and part of the Senate, one of the things I did was I held a chair at the business school at my alma mater, Indiana University.
