Do you have a favorite quote?
“The river continues on its way to the sea, broken the wheel of the mill or not.” Khalil Gibran

What is good teaching for you? 
Good teaching inspires, develops potential, sharpens perception, develops attitudes, a sense of aesthetics; it helps to understand and locate oneself in relation to the environment and encourages different perspectives to become aware of the arbitrary nature of the world; it helps to acquire the prerequisites to lead a happy life with consideration for oneself and the environment.

What is it about your favorite city that fascinates you?
In my favorite city the turquoise sea glistens in the sun, you can see the mountains; the smell of black coffee and manaoushi; there are vineyards, olives. Cedars between stones that bear marks of history. Levante-style windows fold in the wind; Kalimat, ink on worn book pages. She loves life, stands confidently in her most beautiful dress on crumbled walls.
