“What an astonishing thing a book is. A book is made from a tree.
It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted
with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of
another person , perhaps someone dead for thousands of years.
Across the millennia, theauthor is speaking, clearly and silently,
inside your head, directly to you.
Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people,
citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the
shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.” ― Carl Sagan
