>I cannot believe that the ancient occurrence of sensitive young men and sensitive young women going apart, in great solitude, to read for themselves and by themselves—I cannot believe that that can come to an end.
>There will always be sensitive young men and women who will discover Jane Austen, who will discover Shakespeare. If there aren’t, then of course we are all doomed. But I can’t believe that something which is so powerfully resistant to merely social criteria will come to an end. These things cannot die
