About This Quote
Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our lives. They reveal our past, present, and future. They teach us about the world around us. They are the windows that let us into other people's lives.
They are windows that show us how others see the world. Books are windows through which we can see life in all its richness and complexity.
