—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781)
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
