Quotes by Roosevelt Montás (?)

“Liberal education looks to the meaning of a human life beyond the requirements of subsistence—instead of asking how to make a living, liberal education asks what living is for. “These studies,” says Aristotle, “are undertaken for their own sake, whereas those relating to work are necessary and for the sake of things other than themselves.”3 Liberal education concerns the human yearning to go beyond questions of survival to questions of existence.”
