Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Books have the power to be the light we are seeking at crucial moments in our lives. Reading helps us realize we are not alone, that we can change our circumstances and even achieve the impossible.
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own.
For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me.
Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.
The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
I really appreciate what it takes to create a book. I understand the loneliness that it involves and the excitement and the vulnerability: I especially identify with that.
Books are my weakness.
Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.
Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.
