Polly: Education with socialists, it's like sex, all right as long as you don't have to pay for it

Alan Bennett is a renowned British playwright and author known for his sharp wit and keen observations of society. In his works, he often delves into the complexities of human relationships, class dynamics, and the absurdities of everyday life. One of his most famous characters, Polly, from the play "The History Boys," delivers a line that perfectly encapsulates Bennett's satirical take on education and socialism.
