Mortimer J. Adler
“If you are going to answer the first two questions that should be asked of anything you read, you must, as it were, check your opinions at the door. You cannot understand a book if you refuse to hear what it is saying. [How to Read a Book (1972), P. 294]”
Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren

Mortimer J. Adler
“Analytical reading is also active, of course. But when you read a book analytically, you put yourself in a relation to it of disciple to master. When you read syntopically, you must be the master of the situation. [How to Read a Book (1972), P. 309]”
Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren
