Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “I would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.”
    —Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
