“In reading as in other things I have always striven to practice obedience … as far as possible I only read what I am hungry for at the moment when I have an appetite for it, and then I do not read, I eat.”
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
[Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms]
“In reading as in other things I have always striven to practice obedience … as far as possible I only read what I am hungry for at the moment when I have an appetite for it, and then I do not read, I eat.”
