Reading Well Is One Of The Greatest

The World Gets Older, Without Getting Either Better Or Worse And So Does Literature. But I Do Think That The Drab Current Phenomenon That Passes For Literary Studies In The University Will Finally Provide Its Own Corrective.

I Think The Greek New Testament Is The Strongest And Most Successful Misreading Of A Great Prior Text In The Entire History Of Influence.

I Don't Believe In Myths Of Decline Or Myths Of Progress, Even As Regards The Literary Scene.

Personality, In Our Sense, Is A Shakespearean Invention.
