Quote for the day:


It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.

Who said that, and what was the context for the statement?

Don't know where it's from or who said it, but it pretty much describes me going to work every day. Ha ha.
