“Literacy is in our veins like blood. It enters every other phrase. It is next to impossible to hold a real conversation, as against an interchange of instructions and acquiescences, in which reference to the printed word is not made or in which the implications of something read do not occur.”

“...selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
