Stance Width

Famous quotes containing the words stance and/or width:

“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)

“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
