Thought for the day ...

One literature differs from another, prior or posterior, less because of the text than because of the way in which it is read: if I were granted the possibility of reading any present-day page -- this one, for example -- as it will be read in the year two thousand, I would know what the literature of the year two thousand will be like.
-- Jorge Luis Borges, "A Note on (toward) Bernard Shaw"
