Great post - especially as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Paine's earlier pamphlet "Common Sense" sold over 120,000 copies in just three months - when the whole colonial population was only about 2.5 million. Basically one in every twenty people read it - really lighting the fuse. 🇺🇸

[The Shift Journal @TheShiftJournal]

“A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

-G. K. Chesterton
