Transcript
It's really hard for me to travel with people that are not plaque readers. If we pass an ancient ruin, an old house, a park bench, a cobblestone street, and you don't wanna stop and read the plaque, what's the point? That's what life is about, a scholar's temperament, a way of understanding what some random person did on that cobblestone street two hundred years ago. That's what life's about. We we have to be plaque readers. It's so much fun to read a plaque. We should all read more plaques.
