Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries. - Christopher Morley, writer (1890-1957)
This is, of course, why republicans fear books so much.

Most people nowadays wouldn't read a book if you put a gun to their head. ;)
