Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:
“It is this deep blankness is the real thing strange.
The more things happen to you the more you can’t
Tell or remember even what they were.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
