"To read with reverence, passion, attention and relentlessness. The writer may babble; but you read narrowly. Listening to each word, one after the other, forwards and backwards in the book, seeing the clues that lead into the thicket, listening to the secret signals that the author of the book may have failed to notice when he progressed through the vastness of his work.

To read with reverence, passion, attention and relentlessness. The writer may babble; but you read narrowly. Listening to each word, one after the other, forwards and backwards in the book, seeing the clues that lead into the thicket, listening to the secret signals that the author of the book may have failed to notice when he progressed through the vastness of his work.
""Áhítattal, szenvedéllyel, figyelemmel és kérlelhetetlenül olvasni. Az író fecseghet; de te olvass szűkszavúan. Minden szót, egymás után, előre és hátra hallgatózva a könyvben, látva a nyomokat, melyek a sűrűbe vezetnek, figyelni a titkos jeladásokra, melyeket a könyv írója talán elmulasztott észlelni, mikor előrehaladt műve rengetegében."
