Robert Pattinson says “I’m constantly thinking that you're just going to spend the vast majority of your life unemployed and desperate and kind of feeling like you're a total failure.”
“I think that's just what life is.”

Never forget how on nov 16, 1949 a bunch of Belgian students from Ghent took over a fortress and attacked the police with fruit because the city had raised the price of beer.
On November 16, 1949, 138 students (including one girl) entrenched themselves in the Gravensteen in Ghent. The battlements are adorned with playful student slogans, while the police and fire brigade are treated to overripe fruit and smoke bombs. The student-like violence can only be contained with the greatest difficulty by the police. The student joke is front-page news in the international press.
In addition to protesting the new beer tax which caused the price to go up, the students also wanted to abolish the use of white helmets by the police. This helmet was replaced by a blue kepi so that the police officers would be less distinguishable from postmen, among others. I don't know why that was important to the students, but apparently, it was.
Eventually, the police and fire brigade managed to charge the students, but despite this, the students still essentially won the day. Public opinion was on the side of the students, and no students were prosecuted, and they essentially got what they asked for. To this day, each year it's commemorated with a parade and a cantus song; and is considered, by the city of Ghent at least, the greatest student prank in its history.
