“If we don’t read the books with which we carefully line our apartments, then we’re no better than our dogs and cats.”
Terrence McKenna attributes this to William James in his talk “Surfing Finnegan’s Wake”. (Although, I couldn’t find any other attribution for this.) That said, the quote does embody a wonderful Victorian attitude, doesn’t it.
