About this Quote

This quote by Clifton Paul Fadiman speaks to the power of literature to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. When we re-read a traditional, we are not necessarily seeing something brand-new in the book, but rather, we are seeing something brand-new in ourselves. We have the ability to acquire a much deeper understanding of the text and its themes, and this understanding can assist us to acquire a better understanding of our own lives and experiences. By re-reading a classic, we can acquire a greater gratitude for the work and its impact on our lives. We can also get a much better understanding of our own ideas and sensations, and how they associate with the styles of the book. In this method, re-reading a classic can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth.
