"I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul."

—

Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Miller wrote that in 1934.  If he were alive today I wonder what he would have to say about the sorry state of literacy 78 years later.
