teacher sex children
People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know.

Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch. Nick Harkaway

Herbert Spencer

teacher reading tired
I was reading Emily Dickinson and Edwin Arlington Robinson, but these weren't the poets that influenced me.

I would see her in action, and she listened to every single person. She didn't say, "Oh, I'm tired. I gotta go." She was there, and present, with every single person. She's one of the great teachers. Sandra Cisneros
