Without A Sense Of Identity,

This Is The Sense In Which I Am Obliged To Be A Listener. To Listen To The Student's Doubts, Fears, And Incompetencies That Are Part Of The Learning Process. It Is In Listening To The Student That I Learn To Speak With Him Or Her.

No One Can Learn Tolerance In A Climate Of Irresponsibility, Which Does Not Produce Democracy. The Act Of Tolerating Requires A Climate In Which Limits May Be Established, In Which There Are Principles To Be Respected. That Is Why Tolerance Is Not Coexistence With The Intolerable.

No Matter How Much Someone May Irritate Me, I Have No Right To Puff Myself Up With My Own Self-importance So As To Declare That Person To Be Absolutely Incompetent, Assuming A Posture Of Disdain From My Own Position Of False Superiority.
