James P. Carse on Teaching and the Infinite Game

"...the genuine...teacher...master...is someone who, in his or her teaching, makes him- or herself dispensable. A true teacher is one who disappears and leaves it all to the student, so that following has to be understood much more as beginning than following. A true teacher starts his student to do something and doesn't know where it's going."
