I don’t know where to locate this, and how to integrate it in my thesis, but it is very encouraging to find this type of sentences in great professor’s blogs.

"(...) Thomas Mann worried about the responsibility of the artist and the intellectual in preserving notions of beauty and truth. (...) we are neglecting the life affirming role of art and culture in building human dignity and freedom. He feels we must be willing to draw on the well of Spinoza, Socrates and the classics to heal the wounds of the present."

(...) where Sir Ken Robinson held forth on the state of today’s public schools, drawing on his book Out of Our Minds:Learning to be Creative. Robinson’s main thesis follows the lines of our esteemed colleague Hugo–that K-12 Education, built on the industrial model, completely suppresses creativity in our students. (...)

I understand we will need a lot more engineers and scientists in the next few years, but in our rush to remake our school system, we cannot forget that it is art and the humanities that teach us how to creatively live our lives to the fullest."
