It is this, I think, that makes English public school life so good a discipline, if one unlearns its methods as soon as one has done with it, because it makes men tolerant of criticism and even ridicule; its absence of sentiment makes them tough; its absence of courtesy makes them strong.
"The Silent Isle"
Arthur Christopher Benson
One peculiar mark of the youth, and even of the whole life of Augustin, is the ease with which he unlearns and breaks off his habits-the sentimental as well as the intellectual.
"Saint Augustin"
Louis Bertrand
