About this deal

She sounds like someone who spends a lot of time in libraries, which are the best sorts of people.”– Catherynne M. Valente in The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making Prominent figures and authors have spoken on the impact reading has had on their lives, shaping them into the changemakers they are today. Words were different when they lived inside of you.”– Benjamin AlireSáenz in Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (bookmark from The Quiet Ones Speak)

Salvation is certainly among the reasons I read. Reading and writing have always pulled me out of the darkest experiences in my life. Stories have given me a place in which to lose myself. They have allowed me to remember. They have allowed me to forget. They have allowed me to imagine different endings and better possible worlds.”– Roxane Gay in Bad Feminist A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author. – Gilbert K. Chesterton 18 These are just a few of many old sayings that have become popular over time. Do you have any to add to the list? A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading. – William Styron 46

I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library.”– Jorge Luis Borges (print from wtfoxart) Keep reading books, but remember that a book is only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself. – Maxim Gorky 25

Final Thoughts

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”– Oscar Wilde in The Picture of Dorian Gray Books and reading are more than just hobbies — they’re gateways to other worlds, a form of travel while staying in place, and a catalyst for personal and social transformation.
