Please, no matter how we advance in technology please don't abandon the book-there is nothing in our material world more beautiful than a book.

About This Quote

Technology is the most powerful tool we have to advance the human race and the world. The new and amazing gadgets that we enjoy today were not possible until we had a certain level of technological advancement. To abandon the book, however, would be a grave mistake. We cannot continue to live without books; we must continue to use books in order to educate ourselves and to learn new things.

We must also continue to use books because they are beautiful. We can look at a book and see how it was made, where it was made, who made it, and how it was used. That is why we cannot abandon books; they are beautiful and help us to advance as a people in a way that nothing else ever has.
