I was always a bookworm. In fifth grade, I was one of the only students in my class to finish every last book on the Battle of the Books competition list.
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
I love this quote, reflecting on Proust and the Squid: "...reading words on a page helps us create our own sophisticated thoughts based upon what we’ve understood from the author (read: an intelligent human with expertise to share)."

"Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice."
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
"To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries. Everywhere else we may be bound by laws and conventions — there we have none."
