G. S.  --  So silence, and a private space. And third, a terribly elitist condition (but I like the word "elite"; it means that some things are better than others and means nothing else) to have books. The great public libraries were the foundation of education and culture in the nineteenth century and essential for many thinkers in the twentieth century. But to have a collection of books that are yours, that you own, that are not borrowed, is crucial. Why? Because you have to have a pencil in hand.
