6. “Instead of developing the child’s own faculties of discernment, and teaching it to judge and think for itself, the teacher uses all his energies to stuff its head full of the ready-made thoughts of other people. The mistaken views of life, which spring from a false application of general ideas, have afterwards to be corrected by long years of experience; and it is seldom that they are wholly corrected.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

12. “Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly – they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced. That's one of the things I try to teach my students – how to write piercingly. But what on earth's the good of being pierced by an article about a Community Sing, or the latest improvement in scent organs? Besides, can you make words really piercing – you know, like the very hardest X-rays – when you're writing about that sort of thing? Can you say something about nothing?” Aldous Huxley Words, Writing, Impact, Teaching, Triviality, Philosophical Question
17. “She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice – Their behaviour's not good and their manners not nice; So when she has got them lined up on the matting, She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting.” T.S. Eliot Mice, Behavior, Teaching, Feline Perspective, Social Commentary, Humorous Observation
23. “In the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn't all that fun doing the work anymore.” Orson Scott Card Writing, Teaching, Career, Stories, Financial Considerations, Creative Passion
30. “Great spiritual teachers, like Buddha and Jesus, have touched their disciples’ hearts by speaking in the language of emotion, teaching in parables, fables, and stories. Indeed, religious symbol and ritual makes little sense from the rational point of view; it is couched in the vernacular of the heart.” Daniel Goleman Spiritual Leadership, Emotional Connection, Compassion, Symbolism, Teaching, Empathy
