"For writing is discovery. The language that never leaves our head is like colorful yarn, endlessly spun out multicolored threads dropping into a void, momentarily compacted, entangled, fascinating, elusive...Indeed, writing is largely a process of choosing among alternatives from the images and thoughts of the endless flow, and this choosing is a matter of making up one's mind, and this making up one's mind becomes in effect the making up of one's self.
-James E. Miller, JR., Word, Self, Reality
A learning space must be hospitable-inviting as well as open, safe and trustworthy, as well as free...[It] must have features that help students deal with the dangers of an educational expedition: places to rest, places to find nourishment, even places to seek shelter when one feels overexposed.
-Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach
