“There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.”

James Truslow Adams (1878–1949) American writer and historian

To "Be" or to "DO" Forum, Jun 1929; VOL. LXXXI, NO. 6

Context: There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. Surely these should never be confused in the mind of any man who has the slightest inkling of what culture is. For most of us it is essential that we should make a living... In the complications of modern life and with our increased accumulation of knowledge, it doubtless helps greatly to compress some years of experience into far fewer years by studying for a particular trade or profession in an institution; but that fact should not blind us to another—namely, that in so doing we are learning a trade or a profession, but are not getting a liberal education as human beings.

“A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”

Germaine Greer (1939) Australian feminist author

Introduction
The Change: Women, Aging and the Menopause (1991)
Context: Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
