“I’ve read too many books to believe what I’m told.”

Neil Tambe – BA 2009 Organizational Studies, Political Science

One of my favorite sentences in all of prose comes from a Slam Poem spit by Suheir Hammad (viewer beware – it’s political and has some profanity), “I’ve read too many books to believe what I’m told”.  To me, this is the essence of the liberal arts education – it teaches you how to not believe what you’re told and to question instead.
