Gunpowder, explosions and books

“You can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.” 
Christopher Morley (American novelist, journalist, 1890-1957)
(and he is the one who also said “No man is lonely while eating spaghetti”.)
