Ran across this quote from James Mattis:
“If you haven’t read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren’t broad enough to sustain you.”
I wonder how many people read books, and I wonder if this is the problem of our times in a nutshell. We certainly seem not to see past our own noses anymore.
