Liberal Arts Quotes

My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education. Julie Bowen
He didn't understand that it's all connected, that one subject leads to another and forms a kind of chain that rises its head and nods like cobra when you're sucking on a bong after three days of no sleep.

David Foster Wallace
