"A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval war can be won without ships. Books, like ships, have the toughest armor, the longest cruising range, and mount the most powerful guns."

"Only the ship is made of books, its sails thousands of overlapping pages, and the sea it floats upon is dark black ink."

"There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful."
