Famous quotes containing the word education:

—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (17291781)
“Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
school, and learning to be mad, in a dreamwhat is this
life?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we cant stop to discuss whether the table has or hasnt legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
