Here is the infallible test. Imagine yourself in a situation where you are alone, wholly alone on earth, and you are offered one of the two, books or men. I often hear men prizing their solitude but that is only because there are still men somewhere on earth even though in the far distance.

Martin Buber
One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.
