“Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large.

― Daniel Goleman, Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships

“Teaching is a calling too. And I've always thought that teachers in their way are holy - angels leading their flocks out of the darkness.”
― Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
― Dr. Seuss
