Quote

Since the truth may not be what we would prefer. It is revealing that so many people today express approval by saying, I'm comfortable with that, and disapproval by saying, I'm not comfortable with that. Comfort is important when it comes to furniture and headphones, but it is irrelevant when it comes to truth.

The book, that stubbornly unelectric artifact of pure typography, possesses resources conducive to the flourishing of the soul. A thoughtful reading of the printed text orients one to a world of order, meaning, and the possibility of knowing truth.
