Education Quote - Mark Twain

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Education Quote - John Taylor Gatto

Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.
