“I read in the hope of discovering the truth, or at least some truths. I look for truth in what some might deem strange places: novels and poems, histories and memoirs, biographies and autobiographies, letters and diaries. . . In reading for truth, you understand, I am not seeking a full game plan, some large system that will explain the world to me, or a patent for bliss. Instead I seek clues that might explain life’s oddities, that might light up the dark corners of existences a little, that might correct foolish ideas I have come to hold too dearly, the might, finally, make my own stay here on earth more interesting, if not necessarily more pleasant.” (Joseph Epstein)
