"Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning." -Virginia Woolf, 1932 in "How Should One Read A Book?"
