A classical curriculum, though, can act as a healthy correction to tedious, mindless relativism. It is not so much uni-cultural as aristo-cultural-- it directs us to models of the best in all fields of human achievement. And we are all "minorities", all of us are "disadvantaged", in the face of superior objects, whether they be words, thoughts, things, or deeds.
~T. L. Simmons, Climbing Parnassus, p.232
