Quote by Martha C. Nussbaum

“Перерахую здібності, що пов'язані з гуманітарними науками та мистецтвом: здатність до критичного мислення; здатність відірватися від приватних інтересів і поглянути на світові проблеми з точки зору "громадянина світу"; і, нарешті, здатність співчутливо ставитися до труднощів іншої людини.”

“If everyone and everything living in the world can manage to look at the world through the eyes of everyone else and everything else, the world can truly become a beautiful place! Look at the world through the eyes of a deer, look at it through the eyes of a Christian, look at it through the eyes of a Muslim, look at it through the eyes of a Jew, look at it through the eyes of a flower or an insect! Abandon yourself, enter the minds of others and look at the world from there, understand everyone and everything, and find a solution accordingly!”
