We never return to the same book (Manguel)
November 27th, 2006 | Published in Books & Reading, Education, Quotes
We never return to the same book or even to the same page, because in the carrying light we change and the book changes, and our memories grow bright and dim and bright again, and we never know exactly what it is we learn and forget, and what it is we remember.
–Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading (1996), p. 64
