Canterbury/education

Famous quotes containing the words canterbury and/or education:

    But I’m his poor shepherd, as plain you may see,
    That am come to beg pardon for him and for me.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 99–100)

    A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
