About This Quote

We all know that we should think before we speak and we all know that we should read before we think. Why then do we so often speak or think without thinking? I believe it is because of our lack of education. In order to learn, you must read. In order to read, you must think.

In order to think, you must read. When you read, you will develop a new perspective on life and the world around you. The more you read, the more you realize how little you know about absolutely everything.

One day that realization will click and change your point of view forever.
