I would think that titling something first with "Don't Panic" is just asking for trouble.

[There's a pause and a small sigh.] This certainly is a strange experience... What did I get myself into this time? [Another sigh.]

I'm known as Professor Goodwitch--if anyone can be more helpful than these papers, I would greatly appreciate it.

You don't have to be 'prepared' to keep it together. The people who fall apart in this kind of benign unknown are mostly just the ones who are too absorbed with their own experiences and take everything for granted.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for that.

What, to be ever resisting, ever dissatisfied? Do you think that's a pleasing life to lead?
