In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to lead; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
– S. I. Hayakawa
Well that’s just stunningly insightful! I love that – that if we read we have more than one life to live! How true!
So agree. That’s one reason I like to read so much.
So beautifully put! yes! exactly right!
