Quote

Books teach children to see the world through the eyes of others and empathise with others. It's about the story.

Books are a finer world within the world.

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 give us insight into other people, other cultures. They make us laugh. They make us think. If they are really good, they make us believe that we are better for having read them. You don't read a book - you experience it. Every story opens up a new world.

Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves.

Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
