Universities standardly grant leave for at most two years, at which point a professor must either return or resign. Some, of course, can hope to be rehired later, but prudence often rules. Many of my acquaintances made the choice to return to writing and teaching. A few have stayed

Quotes by Martha C. Nussbaum  (?)
Quotes are added by the ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨ community and are not verified by ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨.

“To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.”
Martha Nussbaum

“As we tell stories about the lives of others, we learn how to imagine what another creature might feel in response to various events. At the same time, we identify with the other creature and learn something about ourselves.”
Martha C. Nussbaum

“You can’t really change the heart without telling a story.”
Martha Nussbaum
