“Studying the humanities will not make one more ethical, more tolerant, more cheerful, more loyal, more warm-hearted, more successful with the other sex or popular at large. It may well contribute to these happy results, but only indirectly, through a better-organized mind, capable of inquiring and distinguishing false from true and fact from opinion; a mind enhanced in its ability to write, read, and compute; a mind attentive to the world and open to good influences, if only because of a trained curiosity and quiet self-confidence.”

“All these things are likely results; they are not guaranteed. Life, like medicine, offers no certainties, but we go on living and going to the doctor’s.”

Jacques Barzun “The Culture We Deserve” - Wesleyan University Press
