“To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says,but to go off with him and travel in his company.”
― Andre Gide

“A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.”
― Abraham Lincoln
