Summary

This quote emphasizes the crucial role of words, writing, and books in human history and understanding of humanity as a whole. It suggests that without these tools, history would be absent and the very notion of what it means to be human would not exist. Words and writings allow for the recording and transmission of knowledge, experiences, and stories, shaping our understanding of the past and our collective identity. Books serve as repositories of wisdom, enabling future generations to learn from the past and enrich their intellectual and cultural development.
