It shall be


"A book is no better than, & usually not as good as, a rock, a tree, a creature of the wild, a wisp of cloud, a wave, or a shadow on the wall. We who make books are indebted not to books but to the things which impel men to write books: earth, air, fire & water. If there were not a common source from which author & reader alike draw, there would be no books. Would it be such a calamity, a world without books? Could we not still communicate our joys, our discoveries, by word of mouth? Falling back on the tongue there would be no need to destroy whole forests, mar the landscape, befoul the air, or dull the minds & bodies of those who toil to provide us with mental & spiritual fodder in the form of books."
-Henry Miller from essay To Read or Not to Read
