"Mr Sakamoto said that reading had saved his life. Not mathematics. Not money. Not travel. Reading. At a time, he said, when he felt blasted by images, words had anchored him, secured him, stopped his free-falling plunge into nowhere."
-Gail Jones, Dreams of Speaking (London: Harvill Secker, 2006), p. 132.
