Famous quotes containing the words education and/or culture:
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
