In reality, every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer’s work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book [blog, in my case -erin], he would perhaps never have experienced in himself. And the recognition by the reader in his own self of what the book says is the proof of its veracity.
-Marcel Proust, as quoted by Alain de Botton in How Proust Can Change Your Life.
