What we become
depends on what we read after all the professors have
finished with us. The greatest university of all is the
collection of books.

Reading a book
is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You
bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
-- Angela Carter
