A Quote For Us Fans

[Eileen Rebstock]

I came on this quote in a book of literary puzzles called, "Who betrayed
Elizabeth Bennett?" and I just had to share it with you all.

 

"If there is anything pleasant in life, it's doing what we are not meant
to do. If there is anything pleasant in criticism, it is finding out
what we aren't meant to find out. It's the method by which we treat as
significant what the author did not mean to be significant, by which we
single out as essential what the author regarded as incidental."

 

-         Ronald Knox, 'Studies in the Literature of Sherlock Holmes."

 

He's got us fandom-types down to a tee, doesn't he?
