Undergraduate Liberal Arts

Famous quotes containing the words liberal and/or arts:

“We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

“What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
