Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today aswhen they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was thensaid and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothingin literature can long survivee but what is really good.

Books introduce us into the bestsociety; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said anddid; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoywith them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as ifwe were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.7 G0 v! w) p4 h8 A9 S' E! p% C

Men often discover their affinity toeach other by the mutual lovethey have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by theadmiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me,love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” Thebook is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathizewith each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, andhe in them.

书籍有其本质。它们是人类努力创造出来的最持久的产物。寺庙会衰败，但书籍长存。时间与伟大的思想毫无关系，这些思想在今天和它们在很久以前第一次从作者的脑海中掠过时一样新鲜。当时人们所说的和所想的，仍然和以前一样，从印刷的那一页上向我们诉说着。时间的唯一影响就是把不好的产品去掉，因为文学中没有什么东西能长久存在，只有真正好的东西。

书籍向我们介绍了最好的社会；它们使我们接触到有史以来最伟大的头脑。我们听到他们说了什么，做了什么；我们看到他们真的活着；我们和他们在一起，和他们一起享受，和他们在一起；他们的经历变成了我们的，我们觉得在他们描述的场景中，我们和他们在某种程度上站在同一舞台。: ~. s0 h S( `: r- s: i& ^+ ~

6 v3 q, C. ^ I 人们常常通过彼此对一本书的爱来发现彼此之间的亲和力，就像两个人有时会因为彼此对第三本书的敬佩而发现一个朋友一样。有一句老话，“爱我，爱我的狗。”但这里有更多的智慧：“爱我，爱我的书。”这本书是一种更紧密、更高的联合纽带。男人可以通过他们最喜欢的作者来思考、感觉和彼此交流。他们住在他里面，他也住在他们里面。 w$ C& G8 x* F$ y

一本好书可能是最好的朋友之一（作为朋友的门槛最低）。今天的情况和过去一样，永远不会改变。它是最有耐心和最令人愉快的。它不会在逆境或痛苦中背弃我们。它总是以同样的仁慈来接待我们；在年轻的时候，它使我们顺从；在年岁时，它总是使我们更加和谐。8 ^, a$ U8 m" G- q$ ^. S) ~9 [
