Thomas GeogheganThat's my point: if you own thirty or more books, or you are reading any book at this moment, you may protest all you want, but you were born on the wrong continent.
About This Quote
This quote from Mark Twain perfectly conveys the fact that you must read beyond books, beyond the world to find what you truly want. By reading all of the things that are written it is easy to get lost in your own mind. This is not what your life is all about. You are here to live, not just be a part of it.
Reading will bring more knowledge about yourself, the world, and the universe. From this knowledge you will be able to make better decisions on how to live your life.
