I would be able to name for you a great number of men who, already gray-haired oldsters, were rejuvenated in the study of Greek, since they finally realized that without Greek the study of letters was feeble and groping.Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling, Problem I (tr. Walter Lowrie):
possem tibi permultos enumerare nominatim, qui cani iam coeperint in his litteris repuerascere, quod tandem animadvertissent sine his mancum ac caecum esse litterarum studium.
Every profound thinker and every serious artist is even in our day rejuvenated by the eternal youth of the Greek race.
