Famous quotes containing the words formal, styles, birth and/or death:

    “The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “I wouldn’t put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted, but I very much doubt if He would.”
    —David Jenkins (b. 1925)
