#Teacher Quotes

“No two people will ever see or feel things in the same way, Merry. The challenge is to be truthful when you write. Don't approximate. Don't settle for the easiest combination of words. Go searching instead for those that explain exactly what you think. What you feel.”

“Personality is essential. It is in every work of art. When someone walks on stage for a performance and has charisma, everyone is convinced that he has personality. I find that charisma is merely a form of showmanship. Movie stars usually have it. A politician has to have it.”
“Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.”
“When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.”
“To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.”
“Failure is not important, how you overcome it is.”
“You can never be too old or too young to be attracted to someone. I still remember my first crush back in grade school.”
“Somebody came and directed a show at my high school. I approached it with sort of the sensibility - "Oh, I know that music. I'm going to go audition." I ended up being in it and I sang and it was mind-altering - to me, to my parents, who had never heard me sing like that. It put a stop to everything else that I was doing - every sport that I played, every instrument, it was all dropped because nothing felt like that. I feel really lucky that I found my passion at that point. There are people who are adults who don't know what their passion is and go through life doing "a job."”
