Before the internets, paper notes were passed between students in class or at lunch. The Great Notes of Wisdom are a sampling from a few guys, circa 1983, Ohio.

"In health class we saw a movie about car accidents. Real ones. People were ripped apart. I'm seriously thinking about wearing a seatbelt."

I think this guy travels time. Jan van Eyck’s take on the man and the modern day version. #putin #vaneyck #arnolfini #timetravel

Help. Does anyone know where this location is? May be the Balearic Islands, Mallorca. Would love to identify the actual place. #Baleares #Mallorca #miret

Come at me, bro! 💪😸

Whoever he was is lost to time. My grandmother only told me that this man (from Paris) came to visit Algeria and was gored/killed by a boar. I made up the rest. Check it out.

Beyond happy to have a story featured in this wonderful publication. Thanks @MrSimonWebster. My grandmother told me a version of this story when I was 11. It has stayed with me ever since.

Just finished this devastatingly good book. Top notch story telling and prose. Bravo @stephenmarkley ! My Dad, who’s the most well read person I know and grew up in small town Ohio is thoroughly enjoying “Ohio” as well. All that said, Go Tribe!

When the Uber driver asks what you want to listen to, and you say GENTLEMEN and he cranks it up from the start. And when he drops you off, you say, please drive off into the night, and let it play—the whole album—the whole night, and he says he will. #theafghanwhigs #gregdulli

You came off the TWA or PanAm flight reeking of smoke. #BragAboutYourGeneration

I was in a writing group with this guy years ago and now he has a highly anticipated debut novel about to drop. All due to my tutelage and influence, of course. Actually, it has nothing to do with me. Attend his meet and greet if you can.

Kid at 4th of July parade, describing the air temp, “The heat is too heated.”

Well said, kid.

Overheard on the Green line: “Squirrels seem less committed to hibernation than other animals.”

Overheard on the Green Line:

Man to friend (loudly): “Bath salts taste like bouillon cubes...”

Now, was he referring to the drug, or what you use in a hot bath?

Major props for usage of ‘bouillon cubes’ either way.

Overheard on the train: “You're like that tenacious piece of shit that can't be knocked off the toilet bowl with a piss stream, no matter how hard you push and squeeze."

People in the loop are so confused by this weather. There are short shorts and tank tops walking side by side with puffy coats and hoodies. #chicagoweather #weatherchallenges #fashionfail

[GreatNotesofWisdom @NotesofWiz]

@lydia_loveless Yeah. All had to do with a breakup and absolutely nothing at all to do with him being a sick, pathetic fuc*. Please.

[GreatNotesofWisdom @NotesofWiz]

@lydia_loveless Would have loved to be there. Ever considered covering “boys of summer”? #boycrazy #donhenley #ataris

@ChiPartyAunt Was that you at The Matchbox? You know, back in mid 90s when we put a taxidermy dog in the middle of Ogden. You thought it was alive—slammed on your brakes, everyone watching, laughing. You held bar hostage with mace. Cops hauled you off. I think that WAS you.
