Quotes - Don't confuse the teacher with the lesson
“Claire
said. “I might be able to get him to stop.”
“Who,
crazy dude? Maybe. Or he might pull your head off,” Shane said. “I kind of
worry.”
She
couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah?”
“A
little bit.”
“That’s
…nice.”
He
studied her, and returned the smile. “Yeah,” he said. “Kind of is, actually.”

“Pick
a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to
hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource
jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a
leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons.
Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability,
not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not
segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance,
not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy.
Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not
destruction. Truth, not lies.”

“It's
much easier, after all, to learn mathematics from someone who's made a few
mistakes. It's impossible to learn it from someone who always gets it right.”

“Teachers
can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for
students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether
others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach
human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be
idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because
then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.”

“She's
a librarian, Sim said. They're not teachers; don't give you half as much
hassle. If there's a fire in the school and I've got to choose who I'm gonna
save - a teacher or a librarian - the teacher's gonna burn every time.

“Just
let them sit in the goddam sun. But the world won't let them because there's
nothing more dangerous than letting old farts sit in the sun. They might be
thinking. Same thing with kids. Keep 'em busy or they might start thinking.”

“I
mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you
suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself
"Dijkstra would not have liked this", well, that would be enough
immortality for me.”

“It
was a bitch living with your old English teacher, especially when your old
English teacher wasn’t old at all, and he had exactly the kind of body that
most appealed to her, tall and lean, broad in the shoulder, narrow at the hip.
Then there was his brain. It had taken her a lot of years to find that
particular part of a man appealing, but she’d finally gotten in the habit, and
she couldn’t seem to give it up.”

“Your
perception is riveting, Amal," he says in a bored and sarcastic tone,
dropping the note down on my desk. "It's comforting to know that there are
people in my class who have the maturity and intelligence to make derogatory
comments about other people's external appearances."
Now
what am I supposed to say to that?
"What
do you have to say for yourself?"
Friggin'
mind reader.”

“I
knew I was putting you under immense pressure when I rejected your work the
other day. I set an impossible deadline - yet you have met it with work that I
can only call outstanding. As your teacher, I had to push you to your limits so
