The great thing about stuff like books is that they can continue to stimulate after the authors have passed on.

   "A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit,embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life."

            Johnny Milton.

   "Information can tell us everything. It has all the answers. But they are answers to questions we have not asked,and which doubtless don't even arise."
