Book Quote by Werner Herzog
“I doubt that VR will really replace the quality of books. If you want to go into let's say the Prado in Madrid and you want to go into Hieronymus Bosch or whatever, you'd rather go into books and you take your time and it's sitting there all day long and you go back and revisit it and it becomes part of your physical life.”
About This Quote
Herzog argues that books provide a deeper, more lasting engagement with art and history than virtual reality, allowing time, contemplation, and personal integration.
In simple terms: Books let you explore and reflect on art more deeply than VR.
