When you re-read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did
before; you see more in yourself than there was before.

-Clifton Fadiman, editor and critic (1904-1999)

I like this. Rereading books years after I first read them is lovely. There are different things every time because I've had different life experiences.

Very cool quote. Interestingly I did recently re-read a classic - Of Mice and Men. I hated it with a burning passion in high school, but re-reading it I realize that I've grown up and am able to look at it in a new light. I actually liked it a lot the second time. So there you go.
