"For even the most childish intoxication with progress will soon be forced
to recognize that writing and books have a function that is eternal. It will
become evident that formulations in words and the handling on of these
formulations through writing are not only important aids but actually the
only means by which humanity can have a history and continuing consciousness
of itself." (Hesse in Reading in Bed, ed. by Steven Gilbar, 1974)
