"To learn anything other than the stuff you find in books, you need to be able to experiment, to make mistakes, to accept feedback, and to try again.

If the tectonic plates are springing up or being pressed down, that's when earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen. So every scientist I spoke to who had studied this thinks that we're in for a wild time.”

“Iâ€™ll tell you the secret to good teaching: make possible an experience without predetermining what that experience will be.”
“I'm not mad at anybody. I'm not being forced out. It is what it is. I have no reason to lie.”
“It'll be just lovely for you to play -- it'll be so hard. And there's so much more fun when it is hard!”
