Whitman/education

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or education:

“When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
