About This Quote

A book is a magic object. A friend of mine told me that whenever he saw a book, he could not help but think it was an invitation asking to be opened. If you are not careful, you can close the book without noticing the opportunity it holds for you. You must open it up and be willing to take the journey that will take you to the end of the story.
