We are all born mad. Some of us remain so.

I've decided there are too many quotes on this blog; this goes with the belief that the postings completely lack a means to an end, and more importantly are of no service. Therefore, the most effective thing for me to do is to use this to reflect on my teaching practices. Hopefully, it will make me a better teacher. At the very least, it will let me tread between the "apogees and nadirs" of my first year in pedagogical practice. (yea astronomy!)

I'd like to commemorate this momentous moment (and teaching) with two (unnecessary) quotes, both by Samuel Beckett:

It will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on. -- The Unnamable

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. -- Worstward Ho
