"Sans mots sans écriture et sans livres il n’y aurait pas d’histoire il ne pourrait y avoir aucun concept de l’humanité"
Simplified meaning
Without a way to communicate and record things, we wouldn’t be able to remember or learn from the past. Think about how we learn about what happened a long time ago – it’s through stories, documents, and books. If we didn’t have these, we wouldn’t know who invented important things, what kind of lives people lived, or even the mistakes people made. For example, when you read about Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches, you understand the fight for civil rights and the desire for equality. This helps us build a sense of who we are as people and what we value. If we couldn’t write or record our thoughts, we wouldn’t be able to share ideas or build on what others have done. So, writing and books are like a bridge to understanding ourselves and our history better.
