“How to be a great teacher: Know your students. Know your subject. Make it relevant. Teach in an organized place, in an organized way. Encourage curiosity. Ask the questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Time is priceless. Care.”

“Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.”

“A Teacher doesn't teach, until the student is ready to ask the question.”

“Teach me, Beatrice. I'll enroll in your university as your student. Teach me how to care for you.”

“Why do you keep saying incarnations like I’m some kind of god?” It wasn’t a great question, but the real questions were so big that Kylar didn’t even know how ask them. “You are worshipped in a few remote areas where your master wasn’t very careful about showing the full extent of his powers.” “What?!”

“I want to say to the literature teacher who remains wilfully, even boastfully ignorant of a major element of contemporary fiction: you are incompetent to teach or judge your subject. Readers and students who do know the field, meanwhile, have every right to challenge your ignorant prejudice. Rise, undergraduates of the English departments! You have nothing to lose but your A on the midterm!”
