“Leggiamo per porre rimedio alla nostra solitudine, anche se poi, di fatto, la nostra solitudine cresce parallelamente all'aumentare e all'approfondirsi delle nostre letture. Non riuscirei proprio a considerare il leggere come un vizio, ma va concesso che non si tratta neppure di una virtù.”
Harold Bloom, Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?
“We read, I think, to repair our solitude, though pragmatically the better we read, the more solitary we become. ”
