About This Quote

A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe. One of the greatest feelings in the world is the feeling of being lost in a good book. The feeling of being transported away from everyday life to an entirely different world completely captivating your attention. I have always thought that reading was much more than just reading words on a page.

Reading, for me, is like an adventure through time and space. It’s like visiting ancient civilizations and experiencing them through your imagination. Reading is like traveling through time and space for yourself.
