Quotes by Patricia Meyer Spacks (?)

“No reader can fail to agree that the number of books she needs to read far exceeds her capacities, but when the passion for rereading kicks in, the faint guilt that therefore attends the indulgence only serves to intensify its sweetness.”

“...rereading works that I originally read, for pleasure, in the excited atmosphere of contemporaneity, [I] have reread them purposefully to assess their power, given the passage of time. (pg. 127)”

“Rereading does not lend itself to imperialistic interpretations that assume command of textual territory in the name of some over-riding truth. On the contrary, rereading insists on multiplicity of meaning, predicted as it is on awareness of the different revelations implicit in different encounters with a single book. (page 84)”
