We are too
civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over
and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
'Tis the good
reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds
passages which seem to be confidences or sides hidden from
all else and unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit of
books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the
profound thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is
discovered by an equal mind and heart.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is
creative reading as well as creative writing.

Our high
respect for a well read person is praise enough for
literature.
