Humanities are academic disciplines that study the aspects of human society and culture such as literature, philosophy, and history.
"Our culture is more shaped by the arts and humanities than it often is by politics". - Jim Leach
"I want to support the whole idea of the humanities and teaching the humanities as being something that - even if it can't be quantitatively measured as other subjects - it's as fundamental to all education". - Tom Stoppard
"The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics". - Bertrand Russell
​
"The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education". - Ken Robinson
​
"As we have sought through the centuries to define ourselves as human beings and as nations through the prisms of history and literature, no small part of that effort has drawn us to the subject of war. We might even say that the humanities began with war and from war, and have remained entwined with it ever since". - Drew Gilpin Faust
