"The great men of culture are those who have had a passion for diffusing, for making prevail, for carrying from one end of society to the other, the best knowledge, the best ideas of their time; who have laboured to divest knowledge of all that was harsh, uncouth, difficult, abstract, professional, exclusive; to humanize it, to make it efficient outside the clique of the civilized and the learned, yet still remaining the best knowledge and thought of the time, and a true source, therefore, of sweetness and light."
-Matthew Arnold, Culture and Anarchy
