36) "The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that the time will come when it will be a almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it in hidden in an immense multitude of bound volumes."
- Denis Diderot
I think this means that there are a lot of books so to learn anything will be harder as to study the whole world. It is going to be better to learn a little in the environment than to find it in loads of books.
