—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.”
