Nearest Book Meme No. 1

"In every moment in every classroom, a choice must be made between control and discovery, between the familiar and the new, between safety and danger, between repetition and revelation. Good teachers, like good martial artists, understand that zone where the joy of illumination triumphs over the comforting but deadly illusions of the known."

Robert Inchausti in "Breaking the Cultural Trance." p. 12
