Famous quotes containing the words education and/or sports:
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
“Falling in love is the right adventure for those who dislike sports and travel.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
