Terri Windling Quotes

So Let Us Praise The Distinctive Pleasures Of Re-reading: That Particular Shiver Of Anticipation As You Sink Into A Beloved, Familiar Text; The Surprise And Wonder When A Book That Had Told One Tale Now Turns And Tells Another; The Thrill When A Book Long Closed Reveals A New Door With Which To Enter. In Our Tech-obsessed, Speed-obsessed, Throw-away Culture Let Us Be Truly Subversive And Praise Instead The Virtues Of A Long, Slow Relationship With A Printed Book Unfolding Over Many Years, A Relationship That Includes Its Weight In Our Hands And Its Dusty Presence On Our Shelves. In An Age That Prizes Novelty, Irony, And Youth, Let Us Praise Familiarity, Passion, And Knowledge Accrued Through The Passage Of Time. As We Age, As We Change, As Our Lives Change Around Us, We Bring Different Versions Of Ourselves To Each Encounter With Our Most Cherished Texts. Some Books Grow Better, Others Wither And Fade Away, But They Never Stay Static.
