'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 unmistakenly 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
