Yevgeny Lukin. Zatvorite a prison for me (№ 155482)

... must sheepishly admit that I doubt it <...> in patentovannye the beneficial impact of art on individual personality. If reading really ennobles, why in my life I met sometimes with one hand, very well-read scoundrels, on the other - responsive smart people, the last book won in school and under duress?
Fortunately, from far-reaching conclusions I have held for at least many examples of the opposite. In the end I came to the conclusion that teaching of a scoundrel subtly to understand and feel the literature, human can't make him. Make him the villain who finely understands and feels literature.
