1 " A book is more than a verbal structure or series of verbal structures; it is the dialogue it establishes with its reader and the intonation it imposes upon his voice and the changing and durable images it leaves in his memory. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships. "
― Jorge Luis Borges
2 " The sign of a good novel is what it can cause its reader to see, even if this lies beyond the author's own vision. "
― John Lewis Gaddis , The Cold War: A New History
3 " The text-book is rare that stimulates its reader to ask, Why is this so? Or, How does this connect with what has been read elsewhere? "
― J. Norman Collie
4 " Now because 18 months ago the first dawn, 3 months ago broad daylight but a very few days ago the full sun of the most highly remarkable spectacle has risen — nothing holds me back. I can give myself up to the sacred frenzy, I can have the insolence to make a full confession to mortal men that I have stolen the golden vessel of the Egyptians to make from them a tabernacle for my God far from the confines of the land of Egypt. If you forgive me I shall rejoice; if you are angry, I shall bear it; I am indeed casting the die and writing the book, either for my contemporaries or for posterity to read, it matters not which: let the book await its reader for a hundred years; God himself has waited six thousand years for his work to be seen. "
― Johannes Kepler , Harmonies Of The World
