Quotes from the same author

Not just part of us becomes a teacher. It engages the whole self - the woman or man, wife or husband, mother or father, the lover, scholar or artist in you as well as the teacher earning money.
 Sylvia Ashton-Warner
Off fall the wife, the mother, the lover, the teacher, and the violent artist takes over. I am I alone. I belong to no one but myself. I mate with no one but the spirit. I own no land, have no kin, no friend or enemy. I have no road but this one.
 Sylvia Ashton-Warner
A comforting acquaintance, hope, a contagious thing like spring, inebriating like lager.
