“Save your soul, acquire print books. It's only a matter of time that platforms quietly start altering existing literature, like they are already doing to streaming.

“It is only through the possession of an ever-illuminating library that we can come to recognize and understand the horror and wonder of the human family's Odyssey and its quest for wholeness, freedom, salvation, love, and dominion over fire, flood, suffering, and every disease and death—from the river Styx to space. Without reading as an essential resource for survival in our everyday experience, the individual . . . swings in the orchard of time, an empty-headed scarecrow—gleeful in his wilderness.”

“We are not told of things that happened to specific people exactly as they happened, but the beginning is when there are good things and bad things, things that happen in this life which one never tires of seeing and hearing about, things which one cannot bear not to tell of and must pass on for all generations. If the storyteller wishes to speak well, then he chooses the good things; and if he wishes to hold the reader's attention he chooses bad things, extraordinarily bad things. Good things and bad things alike, they are things of this world and no other.”
