A couple of quotes that seem relevant:
Lisp … has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.
Dijkstra, “The Humble Programmer”.
Lisp is worth learning for … the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot.
Eric Raymond, “How to become a Hacker”.
In times to come, perhaps we will have to replace “Lisp” by “any actual programming language at all”.
