Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... in the education of women, the cultivation of the understanding is always subordinate to the acquirement of some corporeal accomplishment ...”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
