The Classics Force Us To Think

"First we are caused to think about the characters in the story, then about ourselves, then about people we know and finally about humanity in general...The classics can be hard work, and that is exactly what is needed to learn to think. Thinking is hard; deep thinking is not entertaining or easy...The classics make us struggle, search, ponder, seek, analyze, discover, decide, and reconsider."
