Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

About This Quote

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are. It is difficult to put this statement into words. Reading, as an escape from reality and as a way to learn new things, can be such a great thing for those who need it. Because of the work needed to read, the benefits of reading can only be found by those who want to do it. A person will not benefit from reading if he or she is not willing to put in the time and effort that is needed.
