About This Quote
Can you imagine a world without books to read? Without books, we cannot live. It is impossible for us to live without reading and be satisfied. A person who has read and studied and knows and understands everything, he or she is a wise and knowledgeable person. A person who knows everything, reads and studies and understands it, but does not know what to do next, he or she is known as a fool.
