History - Learn more about the Japan on Khan Academy.
Philosophy - Philosophy is written in that great book which is continually open before our eyes (I speak of the universe), but no one can understand it who does not first learn the language, and come to know the characters, in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to understand a word; without these, one is wandering vainly in a dark labyrinth. -- Galileo Galilei
Art/Literature - Journey to the West, and the full text. Amazon has a good video version.
