Cool Quote on the Value of Language and Literature

“Without language there is no communication, speculative thought, or community; without literature, there is no in-depth understanding of narratives that lead to the discovery of other cultures in their specificities and diversity and to the understanding of other human beings in their similarities and differences.”

From the MLA's Report to the Teagle Foundation on the Undergraduate Major in Language and Literature.
