Can you believe that there are still silly people who deny that in the pages of the great classics of the past can be found invaluable lessons for today? Take this passage from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1806 masterpiece Faust:
This senseless, juggling witchcraft I detest!It should be obvious to all that, today, this is the internal monologue of a respectable journalist wrestling with his conscience over a lucrative job offer from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News.
Dost promise that in this foul nest
Of madness, I shall be restored?
