About This Quote
William Blake said, "The world has been printing books for 450 years, and yet gunpowder still has a wider circulation. Never mind! Printer's ink is the greater explosive: it will win." Books are still being printed, but they are also being read. If you've ever picked up a book that was written long ago, you would see how much more sophisticated our society has become since then.
