Elizabeth  Stone
“When you're a teacher, some students burst out at you immediately, most emerge gradually, and a few don't want you to see them at all.”
Elizabeth Stone, A Boy I Once Knew: What a Teacher Learned from her Student

Mary Norris
“One of the things I like about my job is that it draws on the entire person: not just your knowledge of grammar and punctuation and usage and foreign languages and literature but also your experience of travel, gardening, shipping, singing, plumbing, Catholicism, midwesternism, mozzarella, the A train, New Jersey. And in turn it feeds you more experience.”

Gail Caldwell, Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship

George Eliot
“Souls have complexions too: what will suit one will not suit another.”
George Eliot
