“Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer's work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book.

― Marcel Proust, Time Regained

“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.”
