A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
Rabindranath Tagore[The poets' role is that of] capturing on their instruments the secret stir of life in the air and giving it voice in the music of prophecy
Rabindranath TagoreOh, grant me my prayer, that I may never lose the touch of the one in the play of the many.
Rabindranath Tagore
