The article “Can the humanities survive the funds cuts?” [Nov. 5, Nation & World] jogs my memory of a Goethe quote: “He who can not draw for 3 thousand years lives from hand to mouth.”
The humanities fulfill a starvation for an schooling that’s greater than job and cash associated. It’s every individual’s particular person highway to Damascus. Excessive faculties and universities ought to no less than supply lessons that cowl among the 3,000 years and the sunshine we can not see. In any case, the scientific genius Einstein reminded us: “Creativeness is extra vital than information. Information is proscribed. Creativeness makes the world go spherical.”
Creativity, creativeness, individuality and a can-do angle could be simply as vital as a STEM schooling for that enterprise or know-how job.
