Famous quotes containing the words covers and/or artists:
“And mimic desolation covers all.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
