To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching.

Summary

This quote suggests that the art of teaching lies not in simply imparting knowledge, but in knowing how to effectively suggest and guide others in their learning process. It implies that a good teacher is one who can offer ideas, insights, and guidance in a way that encourages students to think critically, explore further, and form their own understanding.

We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality.

Before the beginning of yearsThere came to the making of man

Before the beginning of yearsThere came to the making of manTime, with a gift of tears;Grief, with a glass that ran;Pleasure, with pain for leaven;Summer, with flowers that fell;Remembrance, fallen from heaven,And madness risen from hell;Strength without hands to smite;Love that endures for a breath;Night, the shadow of light,And Life, the shadow of death.

Algernon Charles Swinburne
