> Why, my Chinese students asked, will we read this? Because you need to prepare for American university classes, I replied. But more importantly: because this book might just change your life! I said this without apology or awkwardness. I believed it! Ultimately, if a great work of history and literature does not have the potential to change a student’s life, to shape their character or transform their worldview, there is no point in teaching it!
Love the boldness and clarity here. Whenever a classic movie is showing in the theaters that my wife has not seen, I tell her "we gotta watch this." It's not that I even enjoy or think of these movies as my favorites. It's that there is something in the movie that might stick with her and change her (and me).
