HEALTH WARNING

• Importance Of Being Earnest
• Lady Bracknell. I have always been of the opinion
  that a man who desires to get married should know
  either everything or nothing. Which do you know?
• Jack. I know nothing, Lady Bracknell.
• Lady Bracknell. I am pleased to hear it. I do not
  approve of anything that tampers with natural
  ignorance.The whole theory of modern education
  is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at
  any rate, education produces no effect
  whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious
  danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to
  acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
