Isabelle RowanAll I'm saying is that there is more to life than the main story. Check out the notes in the margins because maybe they're even more important.
About This Quote
When a person reads a book, they don’t always read the actual words on the page. Instead, they often take a look at the margin notes. The side notes aren’t just for people who are reading the book, but for everybody who’s interested in what the author has to say. That’s why it’s important to read the full text of a book, but also to pay attention to what other people have written in side notes. The by-line says it all: “A note from someone else who cared about this book and wanted to add their two cents.”
