b. 1942
The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.
May I propose a Herzog dictum? Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
Those who read own the world; those who immerse themselves in the Internet or watch too much television lose it. Our civilization is suffering profound wounds because of the wholesale abandonment of reading by contemporary society.
