Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or education:

“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
