We are made more teachable and sympathetic. "Browning and the Dramatic Monologue" by S. S. Curry

Gollamy liked to have young and teachable people about him. "Mortal Coils" by Aldous Huxley

It may be asked me, I recognise, of the root of " what" matter I so complacently speak, and if I say " Why, of the matter of our having with considerable intensity proved educable, or, if you like better, teachable, that is accessible to experience," it may again be retorted: " That won't do for a decent account of a young consciousness; for think of all the things that the failure of method, of which you make so light, didn't put into yours; think of the splendid economy of a real- or at least of a planned and attempted education, a 'regular course of instruction'- and then think of the waste involved in the so inferior substitute of which the pair of you were evidently victims." "A Small Boy and Others" by Henry James
