About This Quote

In the past, people were isolated from each other and had to depend on their memories alone. They could not share ideas with others, especially friends. However, with the development of the printing press and the introduction of books, people were able to speak openly to each other. Since then, people have been able to create a great number of friendships that last a lifetime. Through books, we have been freed from many of our isolationist tendencies.
