3 December 2020 Michel de Montaigne In true education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a bit of table talk – they are all part of the curriculum.
3 December 2020 Anne Sullivan I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.
3 December 2020 Nina Bawden People who don’t read seem to me mysterious. I don’t know how they think or learn about other people. Novels are a very important part of our education.

3 December 2020 Laurence J. Peter Education is a method whereby one acquires a higher grade of prejudices.
3 December 2020 Scott Walker In education, they say either property taxes have to go up, or we’ll have poor education – that’s a false choice.
