A life rich with Humanities is a rich life.
"Finally, and most important, these students exude confidence and pride in their lives. Their curiosity and newfound sense of self-mastery is likely to sustain them through life’s vicissitudes and give them a deep inner world into which to delve when the going is tough, the “inner citadel” of which the ancient Greek and Roman Stoics spoke as they confronted their own tough times. What I saw was joy, the sort of joy the philosopher Seneca described: not the flighty joy of the partygoer, but a solid inner joy that comes from discovering yourself." -- Martha Nussbaum, "The Humanities are Alive and Well in Utah," Chronicle of Higher Education, January 17, 2024
