I would say this to my students all the time, it's about 30% you as the teacher and 70% about them. they tend to think that their role is to be the baby bird in a nest and you're going to feed them? they're going to feed themselves, or they're going to starve.

More From Tim Gunn

Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with students-teachers.

In exchange for his first taste of powdered milk, pascal showed me a tree we could climb to find a bird's nest. after we handled and examined the pink-skinned baby birds, he popped one of them into his mouth like a jujube. it seemed to please him a lot. he offered a baby bird to me, pantomiming that i should eat it. i understood perfectly well what he meant, but i refused. he did not seem disappointed to have to eat the whole brood himself.

I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. the other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. that is the whole history of politics.

I never thought i'd be doing poetry books. i never really studied poetry. but the first one i did was after my mother died, and i realized that people sort of think and talk about her style and fashion, but in fact, what made her the person she was was really her love of reading and ideas.
