Famous quotes containing the words space and/or exploration:

    “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)

    “The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.”
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
