Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.

  1. 1) Your friends can never really know the true you

    2) The book hasn't changed; you've changed


  2. 1.  Everyone has "secrets."  Our past is as shut up to others as the pages of a book which is glued shut.  Just as a person can only read the title of a book which is glued shut, our friends, no matter how long they know us, only know the surface of who we are.

    2.  We may think we know more about a book when we reread it, but really what happens is that we learn more about ourselves - we learn more about how that book speaks to us personally.

  3. Your friends ,no matter how close , know your name, the do not know the you inside , your past etc . Your name is the title and the leaves of a book are inside .

    When you reread a book , it is not the book that changes , rather it is you one way or another finding things , maybe yourself in the book . The first time is usually an assignment or just for the sake of it , The second time is to learn from the author , from the characters , from the life portrayed .

    Hope this helps you

  5. The first quote is about you and your experiences. Your friends may be able to see part of it, but they do not know how you experienced something. Every thing you do you can recall at a later time, but when you retell it, you might add something to it or take something out.

    The second quote is about how experiences change us without us really knowing we are being changed. Therefore, when we re-read a book, we tend to see more meaning in it because of our life experiences.

  6. You keep your past to yourself like an unopened book that noone can open the pages and only read the title

    You see more because of your experiences and understanding the book and it's words haven't changed- you have changed from the experience of reading the book
