"I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century. I would undervalue grades based on knowing things and find ways to reward curiosity. In the end, it's the people who are curious who change the world."

"When red fights with white, pink is always the winner. Let that be a lesson in love."

"She saw why teachers get very old and stay very young. For there is no closer probing of the mind--not even in psychoanalysis."

"The only person who is spiritually smart is the one who has learned how to learn, unlearn, and change directions instantly, and start all over again, if your soul calls for it."

"Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality."

"In God's eyes, a man who teaches one truth and nothing else is more righteous than a man who teaches a million truths and one lie."
