thought and opinion history and literature lit media and communication Carl Sagan quote
What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. … Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
Carl Sagan, who passed away 16 years ago today, on the power and magic of books
