In reality, each reader reads only what is already within himself. The book is only a kind of optical instrument which the writer offers to the reader to enable him to discover in himself what he could not have found but for the aid of the book.
Marcel Proust Quotes
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
