感激や感応は、一つ本を読んでも人おのおのだが、若い日にいい本を選んで素直によく読むべきだ。それは何かの不意の時に、ぴたりどんの返事をしてくれるだろう。

Each person finds emotion or inspiration in different places, even if they read the same book, but in our younger days we should choose good books and read them carefully with an open mind. They may, at some unexpected time, fully resonate with us.
