1 " Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day. "
2 " Teaching remains a heroic act to me, and teachers live a necessary and all-important life. We are killing their spirit with unnecessary pressure and expectation that seem forced and destructive to me. Long ago I was one of them. I still regret I was forced to leave them. My entire body of work is because of men and women like them. "
