I stopped and gazed on the little dull man who was being paid to be a teacher of teachers. I turned and walked to the door, slammed it closed with a bang, and broken glass crashed to the floor. There was uproar behind me in the class, which did not interest me at all. Burl Ives on teacher
When I was a child I used to read books by Gerald Durrell, who founded Jersey Zoo. He had a job collecting animals for zoos and for a long time that is what I wanted to do. Later when I was a teenager I had a fantastic English teacher called Mrs. Stafford. Her enthusiasm made me decide to be a writer. Melvin Burgess on teacher

I've been acting my whole life. I have this huge imagination! I'm a dancer and my mom's a dance teacher, and I was always performing and entertaining people.

I was in three academic clubs, a huge book worm and the teacher's pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies. Nicole Anderson on teacher

If we can teach a teacher we can reach more people. Richard Stengel on teacher
If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple. Dallas Willard on teacher
