Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms…are tenacious to life; they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them…and make war upon them…A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash upon the ground.

Victor Hugo

‘If Ofsted is not going to inspect, why not deploy the inspectors to teach? Instead of telling teachers that their provision is “inadequate” or “RI”, the inspectors could lead by example and show staff how “outstanding” teaching can be done.’ 👏 https://t.co/dO48Cq8fXm

‘It’s strange how I have felt, with every major event that has occurred in my life, that you were the only person who would understand.’

‘What’s Optimism?’ Asked Cacambo.

‘I’m afraid to say,’ said Candide, ‘that it’s a mania for insisting that all is well when things are going badly.’

Light is the left hand of darkness
and darkness the right hand of light
Two are one, life and death, lying
together like lovers in Kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.

Another immutable classic of Science Fiction by Ursula Le Guin

A few words from the immutable Sir Patrick Stewart on the rarely recognised power of teachers to alter lives for the better.

‘Something is reaching for her, and there, suddenly, contact.
Warmth like a human hand.’

An intricately woven series of short stories that flow without flaw!

‘Rejoice, little book!
For on that day, we will be free.’

A classic science-fiction novel which defies the conventions of the novel! Highly recommended!

I admit to a certain childlike pleasure when writing about dragons. But then the child in me disappears, and I hear the crunching of tiny bones.
