A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Summary
This quote suggests that there is often a discrepancy between the desire to possess knowledge of a classic piece of literature or work of art and the actual act of engaging with it.

It implies a certain admiration or perceived value associated with classics, but also the reluctance to fully engage with them.
