What have I gained from studying the Humanities?

Studying the humanities has exposed me to aspects of the human experience, both individual and collective, expressed nowhere else. I find this is particularly true of literature, which allows writers to portray our most well-hidden impulses but also the moving, beautiful and ineffable moments of life.
