Clive James

The key to effective teaching is to remember how you learned.

Philip Roth

Teaching ... particularly in the 1990s, teaching what is far and away the dumbest generation in American history, is the same as walking up Broadway in Manhattan talking to yourself, except instead of eighteen people who hear you in the street talking to yourself, they're all in the room.

I’ve always told him, if you want to use a gun, come get me. There’s nothing I like better than shooting.
