There is no reader so parochial as the one who reads none but this morning's books. Books are not rolls, to be devoured only when they are hot and fresh. A good book retains its interior heat and will warm a generation yet unborn.
Clifton FadimanWhen you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before.
