No one reads that way anymore. People may spend a week with a book, but not six.”

“Groupings of people that get together, think things through, come out to plan and so on, like unions or true political organizations, they've disintegrated.

Not a society that is going to be able to function freely and democratically. The tendency is there; it doesn't have to be, but its something to worry about.”
