"Great books are great teachers; they show us every day what
ordinary people are capable of.
"These books came out of ignorant, inquiring
humanity.
"They are usually the first announcements of success in learning.
"Most
of them were written for, and addressed to, ordinary people.
"This is not to say that any great book is altogether free
from difficulty.
"As Aristotle remarked, learning is accompanied by pain.
"There
is a sense in which every great book is always over the head of the reader; he
can never fully comprehend it."
