It is neither poor handling nor the weather that turns the pages of a book a fine sepia. It is the reader's imagination.

About This Quote

This quote is actually an adaptation of an older quote made by Julius Caesar. The original version reads: "Ita enim quaesitum est, utrum lectio cuiusquam poëtis sit oculorum ad minus flatus; namque neque illo tempore esse putatur, nee nee artibus et rebus aliquibus, sed ad hoc quo animi studebant, quod alia sunt divina, quae corpora velut rupem aut cunas inducunt." (This is why it was asked whether reading is the voice of any poet's eyes to the point that it sounds like a scream; for it does not seem that at that time there were any artists or craftsmen who studied for this purpose, but rather to access their divine purposes.)
