George R.r. MartinI have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.
About This Quote
When you read, you see the world in a different way. You become more aware of the world, but you also become more aware of yourself. You can’t ignore your mind. You can’t ignore the feelings you have, and you can’t ignore the people around you. When you read, you start to understand that everything is connected, and that there is no small thing in this world.
