Influences abound, including Plato, one must READ… but so many cannot, it must hurt them mentality wise so badly to actually really start thinking for one's self…
But hey! You got the "movie" or movie versions of it all… why should anyone ever need read at all… Harken back to the Church when all the bibles were written in Latin or Greek… and not the land's they were in by Native Tongues?
