This world is wondrous and vast, but it's through books best discovered. Sounds nice, but is it true? I wonder. If one were to claim no knowledge but for books, would that knowledge amount to much? Consider how Einstein put it: 'As far as literature refers to reality, it is not certain; and as far as it is certain, it does not refer to reality.’ Or something like that. The point is, Nikole and I, we don't know, but we do know books.
