Poetic Outlaws
By: D.H. Lawrence
We shall now see the reading public dividing again into two groups: the vast mass, who read for amusement and for momentary interest, and the small minority, who only want the books that have value to themselves, books which yield experience, and still deeper experience.
— D. H. Lawrence
Now a book lives as long as it is unfathomed. Once it is fathomed, it dies at once.
