Thin Space

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or space:

    I remember how they picked me up, a spindly kid,
    Pinching and poking my thin ribs
    Till I lay in their laps, laughing,
    Weak as a whiffet;
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    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)
