verybody else is working
to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to

When you sell a man a book you don’t sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue—you sell him a whole new life. Christopher Morley
The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man.RW Emerson
