Summary

This quote suggests that while books are the valuable currency in the realm of literature, they serve a different purpose in the field of science. In literature, books hold significant importance and contribute to the wealth and richness of the discipline. On the other hand, in science, books function more like counters or tools, serving as means to facilitate and record the progress of scientific inquiry. This quote draws a distinction between the role of books in these two spheres, highlighting their differing value and function within literature and science.

The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, during which time he had no access to a piano. When he returned to giving concerts again after he was released, his playing was better than ever.
