'What I have learned from about twenty years of serious reading is this: It is sentences that change my life, not books. What changes my life is oem new glimpse of truth, some powerful challenge, some resolution to a long-standing dilemma, and these usually come concentrated in a sentence or two. I do not remember 99% of what I read, but if 1% of each book or article I do remember is a life-changing insight, then I don't begrudge the 99%!'
John Piper in Tony Reinke, Lit! p.116.
