Werner Herzog speaking at The New York Public Library’s LIVE from the NYPL:
It’s a disastrous mistake that most universities are abandoning the departments for classics. It’s a monumental mistake – because we are robbing ourselves of the roots of our cultural identity, of a deeper understanding of who we are and we are heading.
Also see Herzog on creativity and self-reliance and his no-nonsense advice to the young.
