“With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he too was a mere appearance, dreamt by another.”

“He continues to teach because it provides him with a livelihood; also because it teaches him humility, brings it home to him who he is in the world. The irony does not escape him: that the one who comes to teach learns the keenest of lessons, while those who come to learn learn nothing.”
