Famous quotes containing the word repertoire:
“The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.”

“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills.

It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
