"For
me, there is a common theme in the study of foreign languages, of literature,
and of all the humanities: the undertaking to see things from other perspectives,
to place oneself imaginatively in other cultures, times, and situations.
Learning to speak another language and traveling and studying abroad leads
to perceiving the world and one’s own culture in new ways. The act
of reading great literature does the same. When we are successful in teaching
and learning in humanities, we get outside ourselves and see the world
through other eyes."
