Famous quotes containing the words piano and/or teacher:
“I will tell you what Jeanne was like. She was like a piano in a country where everyone has had their hands cut off.”

“At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
