I suppose there is no place in the world where snobbery is quite so ever-present or where it is cultivated in such refined and subtle forms as in an English public school. Here at least one cannot say that English "˜education' fails to do its job. You forget your Latin and Greek within a few months of leaving school "” I studied Greek for eight or ten years, and now, at thirty-three, I cannot even repeat the Greek alphabet "” but your snobbishness, unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is, sticks by you till your grave. - George Orwell
