I've become so accustomed to not reading that I don't even read what appears before my eyes. It's not easy: they teach us to read as children, and for the rest of our lives we remain the slaves of all the written stuff they fling in front of us.

On the contrary, you must look at them, intensely, until they disappear. Italo Calvino

W. Somerset Maugham

• fitness
• determination
• learning

But complex animals had obtained their adaptive flexibility at some cost--they had traded one dependency for another.

THE MOST ILLITERATE NATION IN THE WORLD. A monument to illiteracy. And... James Baldwin
