Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “The most general deficiency in our sort of culture and education is gradually dawning on me: no one learns, no one strives towards, no one teaches—enduring loneliness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
