"No one can read the book... and not realize that sluggishness, parasitical dependence upon others, slackness of taste, and similar defects of character cause more deficiencies of mind than do lacks which are distinctly intellectual in origin. If there are those fortunate enough not to need any of the author's counsels, I still urge them to read the book if only to make the acquaintance of an experienced and deeply wise personality."
—John Dewey
