"Those books lying on the shelves of the library are not ready just drafts and have no meaning. To get meaning, reader, you are needed. No matter how ready they are there are only hints, references, scrawl in them which came to alive in another soul. Books are created by two people: the author, who wrote it, and the reader, who read it”.
/Kosztolányi Dezső/
