You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind.

All TV can do is capture the spirit of a book because the medium is so utterly different. But I'm very grateful for the readers that Masterpiece Theatre has undoubtedly brought me. ↗
