On professional Reading:
"We must have the courage to repeat to teachers how indispensable
 it is that they should cultivate themselves.  It is by reading that a man
 shapes himself and not by reciting textbooks."
Charles Peguy

"We have lived to see the second death of ancient learning.   In our
time something which was once the possession of all educated men
has shrunk to being the technical accomplishment of a few
specialists.... If one were looking for a man who could not read Virgil
though his father could, he might be found more easily in the twentieth
century than in the fifth."   (C.S. Lewis)
