"It is impossible to teach without the courage to love, without the courage to try
a thousand times without giving up. In short, it is impossible to teach without a
forged, invented, and well-thought-out capacity to love." —Paulo Freire in Teachers as Cultural Workers: Letters to Those Who Dare to Teach
