About This Quote
In a world of constant distractions, it’s easy to forget about the things that truly matter. We think we have time to read a book or two, but we rarely make time for things that really matter. The most important part of life is not the things we own, but who we are and what we do with our lives. Though there are a lot of distractions in our world, if no one is reading a book, then there’s no reason to be entertained. We all have the power to escape from the prison of our own mind if we keep our minds open and pay attention to what is going on around us.
