"Qué cosa tan asombrosa es un libro, se trata de un objeto plano, hecho de un árbol, con partes flexibles, en las que están impresos muchos oscuros y curiosos garabatos, pero con darle una ojeada estamos dentro de la mente de otra persona, quizás alguien que murió hace miles de años y a través de esos milenios un autor nos habla, clara y silenciosamente, dentro de nuestra cabeza, directamente a nosotros. La escritura es tal vez el invento más grande de la humanidad. Enlaza a personas que jamás se conocieron, ciudadanos de distintas épocas, los libros rompen los grilletes del tiempo. Un libro es la prueba de que los humanos son capaces de hacer magia".
Carl Sagan
