The History Boys
I’ve seen The History Boys a couple of times in as many weeks. (It’s good. Rent it. Buy it. Whatever. Just watch it.) And there’s this one bit that really jumped out at me. I wanted to share it, and get it down so I remember it.
The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.
