My favorit passage


Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores.


This passage is my favorit of all. This quote is when Faber speaks these words to Montag explaining him the importance of the books. He said that it’s not the books themselves that Montag is looking for, it the meaning they contain. Montag was looking for the quality, and professor called it texture, and said details of life, that is authentic experience. People need quality information, enough time to digest it, and freedom to act on what has been learned.

I love this passage, because it shows intellectual of Faber, and I really agreed with that passage. Yes, it’s not the books themselves we are looking for; we are looking for the true meaning. But to get the true meaning, we need good information, and enough time to think over it, and freedom to act out what we learned.

Hmm... interesting... i cannot say i disagree with you. Books ARE very important. it is an interesting way to express and share what we have learned to all around the world and those who read it will learn what you have learned and the cycle just repeats over and over again.
I like the passage too although i haven't read the book.
