“Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.”
― Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life

“...Individualistic material progress and the desire to gain prestige by coming out on top have taken over from the sense of fellowship, compassion and community. Now people live more or less on their own in a small house, jealously guarding their goods and planning to acquire more, with a notice on the gate that says, 'Beware of the Dog.”
― Jean Vanier, Community and Growth

“The response to war is to live like brothers and sisters. The response to injustice is to share. The response to despair is a limitless trust and hope. The response to prejudice and hatred is forgiveness. To work for community is to work for humanity. To work for peace is to work for a true political solution; it is to work for the Kingdom of God. It is to work to enable every one to live and taste the secret joys of the human person united to the eternal.”
― Jean Vanier, Community and Growth
