7 Quotes About Re Reading

Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the past and move on. We can spend a lot of time looking back and wishing we had done things differently, or we might try to rewrite the past through our thoughts and words. While we can never change what has already happened, we can know what we did do well and take pride in the memories we created. So whether you’re in the middle of a struggling relationship or just want to remember the good times with someone you love, re-reading quotes about life will remind you that change is possible—and that it’s okay to let go.

So let us praise the distinctive pleasures of re-reading: that particular shiver of anticipation as you sink into a beloved, familiar text; the surprise and wonder when a book that had told one tale now turns and tells another; the thrill when a book long closed reveals a new door with which to enter. In our tech-obsessed, speed-obsessed, throw-away culture let us be truly subversive and praise instead the virtues of a long, slow relationship with a printed book unfolding over many years, a relationship that includes its weight in our hands and its dusty presence on our shelves. In an age that prizes novelty, irony, and youth, let us praise familiarity, passion, and knowledge accrued through the passage of time. As we age, as we change, as our lives change around us, we bring different versions of ourselves to each encounter with our most cherished texts. Some books grow better, others wither and fade away, but they never stay static. Terri Windling

An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only.. .. We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading.
