John Cowper Powys Quotes

To Read Great Books Does Not Mean One Becomes 'bookish'; It Means That Something Of The Terrible Insight Of Dostoyevsky, Of The Richly-charged Imagination Of Shakespeare, Of The Luminous Wisdom Of Goethe, Actually Passes Into The Personality Of The Reader; So That In Contact With The Chaos Of Ordinary Life Certain Free And Flowing Outlines Emerge, Like The Forms Of Some Classic Picture, Endowing Both People And Things With A Grandeur Beyond What Is Visible To The Superficial Glance.
