Great Book Quotes

Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable Picture Quote #1

Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic Picture Quote #1

The only difference was one of them was trying to make a perfect cake and one of them was trying to write a great book. But if we remove that from the equation, it’s the same impulse and they are equally entitled to their ecstasies and their despair Picture Quote #1

Learning why one great book is just like every other great book is the key to understanding literature Picture Quote #1
