As I sat down to write this, I started thinking, why do we need to have a book of speeches? In this day and age of round-the-clock access to the wonders of the Internet, where every speech and utterance by anyone can be viewed by millions at just a click, how will a book like this help? I thought some more, and here is what I concluded. A speech becomes great when it is not just applauded at that moment by the audience listening to it right then, but when it has been written and crafted and delivered by the speaker to such effect that it lives on in public memory. Such a speech needs to be not just eard, but also read.
