The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Mark Van Doren
Bring ideas in and entertain them royally, for one of them may be the king.
Mark Van Doren

Mark Van Doren
Wit is the only wall between us and the dark.
Mark Van Doren
When it aims to express a love of the world it refuses to conceal the many reasons why the world is hard to love, though we must love it because we have no other, and to fail to love it is not to exist at all.
Mark Van Doren
To fail to love is not to exist at all.
Mark Van Doren
Nothing in man is more serious than his sense of humor; it is the sign that he wants all the truth.
Mark Van Doren

They exist too abundantly to be content with being that - they must go on, by the rapidest of transitions, to being something else.
