“I am a school teacher doing life and death sums.”

“I am amazed at the patience of my blessed Master and Teacher, but how I love His school!”

“The difference between a beginning teacher and an experienced one is that the beginning teacher asks, "How am I doing?" and the experienced teacher asks, How are the children doing?”

“There are two types of teachers in the world: there are those who play school and teachers that teach school”

“There is divine beauty in learning... To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you.”

“I am Death... and I am haunted and horrified by life.”
