About This Quote

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home. The word “home” has been used for centuries as a metaphor for a place of security and comfort.

In our modern, digital age, there is no one place on Earth that offers this kind of security. Humans have always been fascinated by books – they have been a way to explore new ideas, communicate with others, and pass down wisdom from one generation to the next. Books remain a powerful tool for learning, exploration, and connection – both real and virtual.
