From Et Cetera, by Augustine Birrell
THE ONE
"The one drawback to the invention of the moveable types is that it circulates human folly and vulgarity as readily as it does wisdom and common sense, and, as the momentary demand for the former commodities is always greater than for the latter, injury to men's mentality is done."
From John Bunyan
