That moving carcass does but very inadequately symbolizes you....a subtle and immortal spirit.

A book, once it is printed and published, becomes individual. It is by its publication as decisively severed from its author as in parturition a child is cut off from its parent. The book "means" thereafter, perforce, — both grammatically and actually, — whatever meaning this or that reader gets out of it.

People never want to be told anything they do not believe already.
