| “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool
for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement
to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion
of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone,
everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human
progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.” |

you pose” |

do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before."
Clifton Fadiman
