Berlin/education

Famous quotes containing the words berlin and/or education:

    If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy,
    You’ll get all my applause.
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    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)
