Famous quotes containing the words modern, secondary and/or education:

    In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    A good education is another name for happiness.
    Ann Plato (1820–?)
