About This Quote
There is no frigate like a book. It is all the more powerful, because it speaks quietly, and yet its words resound far. A book is a type of craft that can take us to distant lands, to places we’ve never been. It is most definitely not one of the weapons used by pirates, but it does have the ability to take us there.
A book can take us on adventures that are so real they are almost as if they are happening in real life. A book can transport you across oceans and time periods. It can carry you to new worlds and give you tales of your ancestors’ lives.
