" The best of a book is not the thought that it thinks, but the thought that thinks about the thought."
" In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since." “ I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” “ The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought of which it is capable.” “ The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought of which it is itself the thought.” “ The best of the novel is the story of a man who is a man of the world.” " The best of a book is not the thought that it contains, but the thought of which it is capable." |
