Henry David Thoreau (pg. 66 in “Walden”)

deepestrecess:

On reading:

“To read well, that is, to read books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object. Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they were written.” 

Thoreau I love you so, you will always be the literary key to my heart.
