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, Society and Solitude
