I've no clue where this quote came from--I've done a cursory background search and, aside from this quote, there seems no information on Alexandra K. Trenfor otherwise--but that doesn't diminish from the truth of what she, or someone who attributes it to her, said.
Similarly, I'm rereading Parker Palmer's Healing the Heart of Democracy, and came across the following wisdom: "No educational task is more important than helping students reflect on realities larger than their own egos." This was always, although I never articulated it the way Palmer has, the impetus behind my teaching and I hope that came through to most of my students. I'm learning to translate this now to everyday life; that's harder and less often rewarded, I've found, but no less rewarding.
