Sad sam videla i od koje. Od kud i kako si uopste naleteo na nju? Zena je valjda bila neka ministarka za skole i obrazovanje.
Ne sjećam se više kako sam naišao na nju. Vjerovatno preko Arts & Letter Daily. Tu se svaki dan može naći zanimljivih tekstova iz raznih izvora, na engleskom jeziku.
Koga zanima baš ovaj moj potpis, evo proširenog citata. Nije neki mnogo težak engleski.
Why does it matter if America's literary culture is dying? It matters because the ability to read challenging books helps to make one more independent-minded. It encourages a way of thinking that is not a product of the mass media. It gives one the ability to think for one's self, the ability to entertain contrary opinions and not be dependent on Hollywood for a view of the world.
The literary culture is the last bastion of the individualist. Our society, our culture, even our economy depend on preserving free-thinking dissidents. And there is nothing that works better to free a mind from cant and superstition than to engage with the ideas of the world's greatest writers.
