"The German poet Goethe once said that 'he who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.' I don't want you to end up in such a sad state. I will do what I can to acquaint you with your historical roots.
It is the only way to become a human being.
It is the only way to become more than a naked ape.
It is the only way to avoid floating in a vacuum."
-Sophie's World, Jostein Gaarder
