"When you re-read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before."

— Clifton Fadiman


This quote was from my Real Simple daily thought e-mail. Just thought it was pretty true and wanted to share.


Anyone else have a favorite bookish quote?

I can't remember the exact wording, and right now I'm too lazy to look it up, but there is one I always liked about no two people reading the same book; there's also a similar one about the author writing a different book than what someone reads.

That quote you shared is nice. :)
