Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:

    The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    Roger Thornhill: Has life been like that?
    Eve Kendall: Uhm mm.
    Roger Thornhill: How come?
    Eve Kendall: Men like you.
    Roger Thornhill: What’s wrong with men like me?
    Eve Kendall: They don’t believe in marriage.
    Roger Thornhill: I’ve been married twice.
    Eve Kendall: See what I mean?
    Ernest Lehman (b.1920)

    How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
