Definitions and quotes

Liberal Arts
A mass culture is a culture which can be appropriated by the meanest capacities without any intellectual or moral effort whatsoever. … Liberal education is the counterpoison to mass culture, to the corroding effects of mass culture, to its inherent tendency to produce nothing but “specialists without spirit or vision and voluptuaries without heart.”
Leo Strauss, “What is liberal education,” Liberalism, Ancient and Modern (1968), p. 5 (The phrase “specialists without spirit or vision and voluptuaries without heart.” is from Max Weber)
Liberal Arts
At a time when politics deals in distortions and half truths, truth is to be found in the liberal arts. There's something afoot in this country and you are very much a part of it.
Joyce Carol Oates (2006) "Graduation Speech" (May 28, 2006)
Liberal Arts
Liberal Arts may ultimately prove to be the most relevant learning model... People trained in the Liberal Arts learn to tolerate ambiguity and to bring order out of apparent confusion. They have the kind of sideways thinking and cross-classifying habit of mind that comes from learning, among other things, the many different ways of looking at literary works, social systems, chemical processes or languages.
Roger Smith (1987) "The liberal arts and the art of management". In Educating managers: Executive effectiveness through liberal learning, ed. Johnston et al., 21-33. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass; As cited in: "Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies: What is Liberal Studies?" on georgetown.edu about bachelor of arts in liberal studies, 2013
