Famous quotes containing the words air, space and/or museum:
“Old among the young, poor among the rich, I adopt an air of indefinable superiority.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
