“The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can.

But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
