That quote is not from a book. It's just something Moondog said. In this case it was recorded on a track for a rock compilation.

Does a quote have to be from a book? I've always liked it. Here's the song.

@riggbeck @bookstodon A quote doesn't have to be from a book. But when you're trying to get kids to read and have literally millions of quotes from books to choose from, selecting one that was never in a book seems kinda lazy if not disingenuous, don't you think?

Nonsense. The quote says everything I wanted to say about the technocratic capture of reading, so I used it.

@riggbeck @bookstodon It's cool that this quote expresses things you feel about reading. But when you're trying to introduce kids to reading it should probably give them a glimpse of what they're missing. Just my 2c.
