“… you can blow up a man with  gun powder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.”  Roger Mifflin in Christopher Morley’s “The Haunted Bookshop” — Christopher Morley
