― Douglas Coupland

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
― Italo Calvino, The Uses of Literature

“A lecture has been well described as the process whereby the notes of the teacher become the notes of the student without passing through the mind of either.”
― Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book

“All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hours, and the books of all Time.”
― John Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies
