About This Quote

When we read a book, we become so engrossed in the story that we can’t help but want to live it. We see all the things that the book describes and imagine ourselves doing them. We think about what our lives would be like if we were in the book and how we would live our lives differently. If we don’t have the chance to read a book, we watch movies or listen to music that tells us similar stories. When we see or hear something that brings us enjoyment and makes us want to live, we call it art and it is something that gives us ideas.
