About This Quote

The universe will express itself as long as somebody will be able to say, "I read, therefore it writes." This quote is about the value of reading. It’s not about what it does for you. It’s not about what it can do for you. It’s about the fact that you said it did these things.

This is an important lesson because sometimes we forget that we are creating our own reality. We don’t know what the outcome of our thoughts and actions will be until they happen. That means we must know our thoughts and actions before they come to fruition.
