I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch

Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin
