Operative Education

Famous quotes containing the words operative and/or education:

    I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.
    Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
