I read this in "Communication in History" -David Crowley and Paul Heyer.
"Recent generations have perhaps overestimated the benefits of literacy, for these benefits do not come about automatically, and they may be accompanied, if unwisely used, by a loss of firsthand experiences and contacts, a loss of both sense and sensibility, with an increase of pride and prejudice."
Not only is it a very interesting, and in my opinion correct, thought, he uses the titles of two Jane Austin novels in adjacent clauses. Nice.
Oh Katie! I love that. I feel weird not calling you Sorella. I'm loving your bucket list on the side. I've always wanted to be a waitress too, strangely enough. And I will totally do numbers 1 and 5 with you. Hands down. Hope you're doing well. Amore amor
