- When the mind is braced by the weighty expectations of a prepared work, the page of whatever book we read, becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant; the sense of our author is as broad as the world. There is creative reading as well as creative writing. ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks 5:233
