A Quote by Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.

The ideal teacher student relationship exists when the student is better than the teacher.
A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting.

My notion of a failed writing workshop is when everybody comes out replicating the teacher and imitating as closely as possible the great original at the head of the table.

The successful teacher has to make each of the students a different product rather than the same.
