Be wild; that is how to clear the river. the river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. the river does not dry up, we block it. if we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. that is creative life. it is made up of divine paradox. to create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

I pledge to set out to live a thousand lives between printed pages. i pledge to use books as doors to other minds, old and young, girl and boy, man and animal. i pledge to use books to open windows to a thousand different worlds and to the thousand different faces of my own world. i pledge to use books to make my universe spread much wider than the world i live in every day. i pledge to treat my books like friends, visiting them all from time to time and keeping them close.

The many-voiced song of the river echoed softly. siddhartha looked into the river and saw many pictures in the flowing water. the river's voice was sorrowful. it sang with yearning and sadness, flowing towards its goal ... siddhartha was now listening intently...to this song of a thousand voices ... then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of one word: om - perfection ... from that hour siddhartha ceased to fight against his destiny.

So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of les miserables cannot fail to be of use.
Book Ignorance Long
Usually i read several books at a time - old books, new books, fiction, nonfiction, verse, anything - and when the bedside heap of a dozen volumes or so has dwindled to two or three, which generally happens by the end of one week, i accumulate another pile.

It has historically been a comfort for the bourgeois and that you can read the most extreme books and not change. you can read a christmas carol and not change in any way.

Readers of novels are a strange folk, upon whose probable or even possible tastes no wise book-maker would ever venture to bet.
