Why Literature Matters By Dana Gioia

" I must study politics and war, so that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. They will add to their studies geography, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, he continued, so that their children mahy enjoy the 'right to study painting, poetry, music..."
- John Adams

I chose this quote because it show how American culture was to be shaped. It was so important to study such things to allow all of us to be able to study music and have a wide variety of topics to study.
