Gabriel Zaid -Leer Vs Escribir-
"el problema del libro no está en los millones de pobres que apenas saben leer y escribir, sino en los millones de universitarios que no quieren leer, sino escribir… La gran barrera a la difusión del libro está en las masas de privilegiados que fueron a la universidad y no aprendieron a leer un libro…"
