Tis The Good Reader That Makes The Good Book; In Every Book He Finds
Passages Which Seem Confidences Or Asides Hidden From All Else And
Unmistakably Meant For His Ea
'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds
passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and
unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the
sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as
in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Society and Solitude
