I cannot tell you how much I agree with this. I live by statements like this. This is the reason why I chose to study English, Drama, Art, Culture, Philosophy, and all forms of Humanities. Learning a math equation or science experiments may give you the chance to make an imprint on a career, but will you live happily not being able to understand human nature? How can one live without the impression art makes on the soul. What arts and the study of humanity does is makes people aware of the world around them and all parts of it. There are dwindling amounts of people who study the arts, and it is because people put such an emphasis on science, math and business and that is why society is so fucked up. People cannot understand each other if they cannot understand themselves and the way we are.
