Education

When Sullivan got home, she looked up 'perverted' in the dictionary and found that it said, "turned out of one's natural course."

"Well, frankly," Dr. Sullivan says, "that didn't seem such a bad thing to me. In fact, I thought, wasn't that what education was all about anyway? To rescue us from our natural inclinations and to steer us in the ways of the best that had been thought and discovered and created over the long course of civilization?

~ Margaret Sullivan quoted by Elizabeth McCracken

All education is some sort of perversion, then.
