“You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being formed and the desired impression is more readily taken....Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up?We cannot....Anything received into the mind at that age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore it is most important that the tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thoughts....”“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” “If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.” “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” “The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.”― Plato, The Republic
