Jaded
"Readers may be divided into four classes: 1. Sponges, who absorb all that
they read and return it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtied. 2.
Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for
the sake of getting through the time. 3. Strain-bags, who retain merely the
dregs of what they read. 4. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who
profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also."
