My favourite quotations usually come from my lecturers.
'This is a very nice example of proof by induction. Maybe...too nice'
'I think the exam is simple enough, but simplicity is in the eye of the beholder' (this could be applied to origami too)
'And these are the issues that will have you losing your hair! What do you DO with bald people?!'
