As you grow older, you will... Sam Levenson

After all, when we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. But we do need a breather. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. Books are to remind us what asses and fools we are."Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Ray Bradbury
As a man's knowledge grows, and his power increases, the road he takes grows ever narrower, until at last he does only and wholly what he must. Ursula K. Le Guin
