"For to men who, though they are unjust and impious, imagine that they are well educated in the liberal arts, what else ought we to say than what we read in those writings which truly merit the name of liberal,— "if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed" (Jn 8:36)? For it is through Him that men come to know, even in those studies which are termed liberal by those who have not been called to this true liberty, anything in them which deserves the name. For they have nothing which is consonant with liberty, except that which in them is consonant with truth."
~St. Augustine: excerpt from Letter 101, (To Memor; AD 409).
