A book lives as long as it is unfathomed.

Book, Reading, Long
D. H. Lawrence, Mara Kalnins (2002). “Apocalypse and the Writings on Revelation”, p.60, Cambridge University Press

After all, the world is not a stage-not to me: nor a theatre: nor a show-house of any sort. And art, especially novels, are not little theatres where the reader sits aloft and watches...and sighs, commiserates, condones and smiles. That's what you want a book to be: because it leaves you so safe and superior, with your two-dollar ticket to the show. And that's what my books are not and never will be...Whoever reads me will be in the thick of the scrimmage, and if he doesn't like it if he wants a safe seat in the audience-let him read someone else.

I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.
