Without books, we might just melt into the airwaves and be just another set of blips.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them.
Books are time machines, transporting us out of our own lives into other times and other places.
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
My gut feeling is that paper and ink are going to be with us for a long time yet, and in substantial quantities, though certainly books are now going to be available in other forms.
Without books I would not have become a vivacious reader, and if you are not a reader you are not a writer.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.
I cannot live without books.
Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.
I can't persuade myself that one of the problems facing the planet today might be a shortage of books by me.
