Only because books are better than people, Father... Because they are masters who instruct without a rod. If you approach them, they are never asleep; if you are ignorant, they never laugh; if you make mistakes, they never chide. They give to all who ask of them, and never demand payment... All the glory of the world would be buried in oblivion, if God hadn't provided us with the remedy of books.
