Sylvia Ashton-Warner quotes about
teacher volcanoes years
I see the mind of the five-year-old as a volcano with two vents: destructiveness and creativeness.
professors my-own universe
I am my own Universe, I my own Professor.
circumstances corners
It's just as possible to live to the full in a narrow corner as it is in bigness.
listening attention wells
To feel as well as hear what someone says requires whole attention.
suffering steps goodbye-love
When love turns away, now, I don't follow it. I sit and suffer, unprotesting, until I feel the tread of another step.
wealth
What can be heavier than wealth than freedom?
spring comforting contagious
A comforting acquaintance, hope, a contagious thing like spring, inebriating like lager.
teaching important way
It is not so much the content of what one says as the way in which one says it. However important the thing you say, what's the good of it if not heard or, being heard, not felt?
