Zarathustra “One repays a teacher badly if one remains only a pupil”

Carl Jung quoted this in a letter to Sigmund Freud.

I’ve differentiated from my profs while continuing to benefit from their insights and teaching, and I’ve learned from my students as they’ve challenged me and taught me. When I’m in class, I feel like a pupil who grows because of the wisdom and experiences within the class while at the same time feeling passionate about what we’re exploring and doing and what I can share. I like bell hook’s engaged pedagogy.

What do you think and feel about this saying of Zarathustra (Nietzsche)?
