In the end, the humanities can only be defended by stressing how indispensable they are; and this means insisting on their vital role in the whole business of academic learning, rather than protesting that, like some poor relation, they don’t cost much to be housed.  (Humanities Quotes) My background is economics and maths. I think one of the reasons I studied humanities at all, or even went into journalism, is because, like, science and maths wasn’t cool in England when I was growing up. No one ever talked to the engineering students at Oxford.  (Humanities Quotes) Every high school and college graduate in America should, I think, have some familiarity with statistics, economics and a foreign language such as Spanish. Religion may not be as indispensable, but the humanities should be a part of our repertory. They may not enrich our wallets, but they do enrich our lives. They civilize us. They provide context.  (Humanities Quotes) I tell you that studying humanities in high school is more important than mathematics - mathematics is too sharp an instrument, no good for kids.  (Humanities Quotes) Grades can matter, especially for those students and parents who live for the next round of applications to graduate or professional schools.

Not by me, but by somebody. Not anyone in Humanities, probably  (Humanities Quotes) I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities  (Humanities Quotes) I think the perception of there being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false  (Humanities Quotes) I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more  (Humanities Quotes) The humanities need to be defended today against the encroachments of physical science, as they once needed to be against the encroachment of theology  (Humanities Quotes) The adequate study of culture, our own and those on the opposite side of the globe, can press on to fulfillment only as we learn today from the humanities as well as from the scientists  (Humanities Quotes) The notion that every well educated person would have a mastery of at least the basic elements of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences is a far cry from the specialized education that most students today receive, particularly in the research universities  (Humanities Quotes) We need a self because the complexity of the chemical processes that make up our individual humanities exceeds the processing power of our brains  (Humanities Quotes) The humanities of business in this age have become more important than the techniques of business. Each business and industry has to sweep the public misunderstandings and the false notions off its own front walk. Thus will a pathway be cleared for popular appreciation of the important rule of business in our freedom and in our way of life  (Humanities Quotes) In trying to justify the humanities, as in trying to live a life, what may turn out to matter most is holding one’s nerve  (Humanities Quotes) The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word  (Humanities Quotes) The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student’s education  (Humanities Quotes) In the end, the humanities can only be defended by stressing how indispensable they are; and this means insisting on their vital role in the whole business of academic learning, rather than protesting that, like some poor relation, they don’t cost much to be housed  (Humanities Quotes) We all have choices. We can build walls or we can build bridges. We can give our talents to creating weapons of annihilation, as so many scientists have done, or we can work to find solutions to humanities greatest problems. Our orientation is found not only in our acts, but also in the policies we support or oppose  (Humanities Quotes) I’m big into social studies, the humanities. I really love history and world issues and philosophy and law  (Humanities Quotes) I think the humanities always have to take science, our great knowledge that we get from science, into account, but then try to answer the human questions and try to make sense out of our lives, taking into account all of the scientific knowledge  (Humanities Quotes) For the professors in the academy, for the humanities generally, misery is more amenable to analysis: happiness is a harder nut to crack  (Humanities Quotes) Humanities deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for continuing our quest. and our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in  (Humanities Quotes) I think this confusion leads intellectuals and artists themselves to believe that the elite arts and humanities are a kind of higher, exalted form of human endeavor  (Humanities Quotes) I’m a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I’m an evangelist of popular culture, but when there’s only media, then there’s going to be a slow debasement of language, and that’s what I think we’re fighting  (Humanities Quotes)
