Quote by Havelock Ellis

For every fresh stage in our lives we need a fresh education, and there is no stage for which so little educational preparation is made as that which follows the reproductive period.

For every fresh stage in our lives we need a fresh education

Summary

This quote suggests that education should not be limited to a specific time in our lives, but rather continue throughout all stages. It highlights how often there is a lack of educational resources or preparation for the period of life that comes after the reproductive phase. It implies that there should be a focus on continuous learning and development throughout our lives, including after we have had children, in order to adapt to new challenges and experiences.
