Alberto Manguel Quotes
Sartre, In His Memoirs, Confessed To Much The Same Experience. Like Plato, I Passed From Knowledge To Its Subject. I Found More Reality In The Idea Than In The Thing Because It Was Given To Me First And Because It Was Given For A Thing. It Was In Books That I Encountered The Universe: Digested, Classified, Labelled, Mediated, Still Formidable.
