EDUCATION
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body; so that acts, which at first require a conscious effort, eventually become unconscious and mechanical.”—Huxley.
RE-EDUCATION
“It is because the body is a machine that (Re)education is possible. (Re)education is the formation of (New and Correct) habits, a (Re-Instating of the Correct) artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body; so that acts, which at first require conscious effort, eventually become unconscious and mechanical.”
