In a letter to his mother, T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) extolled the virtues of a good book:
“…if you can get the right book at the right time you taste joys—not only bodily, physical, but spiritual also, which pass one out above and beyond one’s miserable self, as it were through a huge air, following the light of another man’s thought. And you can never be quite the old self again.”
Hard to imagine him waxing so passionate about a Kindle.
