People think that the arts are optional and they aren't. They teach a level of emotional depth that's equally important to mathematic skill. You can replace some math skills with a calculator if you know how to operate the thing, but there's no calculator for human interaction.

  • -- Hal Sparks 哈尔火花

人们认为艺术是可选的,但事实并非如此。他们教给学生一定程度的情感深度,这对数学技能同样重要。如果你知道如何操作计算器,你可以用它来代替一些数学技能,但是没有计算器来进行人机交互。
