The best moments in reading are when you come across something, a thought a feeling, a way of looking at things, that you had thought special, particular to you. And there it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has reached out, has come out and taken yours.
- Christopher Pullen in his book 'Gay Identity, New Storytelling and the Media', 2009, quoted from Alan Bennett's book 'The History Boys', 2006
