A Classic is Like a Cow

“A classic is like a cow: 

it gives fresh milk every morning. 

A classic is a book that rewards endlessly repeated reading. 

A classic is like the morning, like nature herself: 

ever young, ever renewing. 

No, not even like nature, 

for she, like us, is doomed to die. 

Only God is ever young, 

and only the Book he inspired never grows old.” 

~ Peter Kreeft
