Famous quotes containing the words niche and/or position:
“Youre neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; youre as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only youre unexplained as yetyouve not got your niche in creation.”
—Radclyffe Hall (18831943)
“The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.”
—Maria Montessori (18701952)
