What counts in the long run (Roosevelt)
July 22nd, 2006 | Published in Books & Reading, Quotes
What counts, in the long run, is not what you have read; it is what you sift through your own mind; it is the ideas and impressions that are aroused in your by your reading.
–Eleanor Roosevelt, quoted in The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life (2005) by Steve Leveen, p. 98
