“A library is a place where you learn what teachers were afraid to teach you.”

“Home was not the place where you were born but the place you created yourself, where you did not need to explain, where you finally became what you were.”

“Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, and teachers.”

“Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher.”

“As you grow spiritually, you will find yourself teaching more as you learn more. Your learning and your teaching will take place even in your sleep.”

“A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity.”

“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”

“As a teacher and parent, I've had a very personal interest in seeking new ways of teaching. Like most other teachers and parents, I've been well aware — painfully so, at times — that the whole teaching/learning process is extraordinarily imprecise, most of the time a hit-and-miss operation. Students may not learn what we think we are teaching them and what they learn may not be what we intended to teach them at all.”

“Where is the book in which the teacher can read about what teaching is? The children themselves are this book. We should not learn to teach out of any book other than the one lying open before us and consisting of the children themselves.”

“The kind of education we are looking for, it is necessary that teachers have to walk through this learning process and then practise them later on in their teaching. Professionalism can be achieved by teachers if they practise learning in their teaching.”
