Quote by Herman Melville

"It is the privilege of the reader to slow down the author who goes too fast."

"Some certain significance lurks in all things, else all things are little worth."

"To know how to say what others only think is to be a poet."

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
