“Don't worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.”

“My advice to people who want to teach is pretty simple and very likely to be ridiculed: don’t believe the bullshit. You’re not there to help students get skills for a workplace. You’re not there to make them more marketable. You’re not there to provide them with answers to petty, superficial questions. You’re not there to impress them – or yourself – with the latest technological wonder that promises to make something “better” but will probably only shorten some algorithmic process and benefit an employer. You’re not there to mass produce replaceable parts for the machinery of the global economy. You’re there for one reason and one reason only: to make them better people than they were when they came in.”
― Peter K. Fallon

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959

“Every person is a half-opened door
leading to a room for everyone.”
― Tomas Transtromer
