"Kata-kata tertulis, jelas, sangat dalam, dan ketika kita membaca, kita berpikir. Ini semacam aktivitas spiritual dan meditatif. Ketika kita melihat benda-benda visual, saya pikir mata kita jelas diarahkan ke luar, jadi tidak ada banyak waktu reflektif. Dan itu adalah reflektifitas dan kesadaran spiritual tentang membaca yang menarik bagi saya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The written word, obviously, is very inward, and when we're reading, we're thinking. It's a sort of spiritual, meditative activity. When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me.
