Famous quotes containing the words ancient, greek and/or teaching:

    Take a timber
    That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
    Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
    For a doorsill or other corner piece
    In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
    The life is not yet all gone out of it.
    And come and make your summer dwelling here....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    So you may say,
    Greek flower; Greek ecstasy
    reclaims for ever
    one who died
    following
    intricate songs’ lost measure.”
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    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)
