Hard to believe this intricate sculpture was made in the 18th century. The amount of detail in every little figure is just incredible.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lest we forget...

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
- For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon

Reading good books teaches you things that scrolling never will.
— Patience to follow a long argument
— Concentration to study difficult ideas
— Vocabulary to express yourself clearly
— Historical knowledge to understand the present
— Judgment to recognize weak arguments
— Curiosity to keep learning
None of these skills develops overnight.
They come from spending years reading, thinking, and returning to books that challenge you.
There is no shortcut to becoming well-read.
