About This Quote

When we read books we usually don’t think about how many pages we have already read. Instead, we think about the book and how much we want to read and what we will be reading and all this is done silently. It is a very peaceful place for us to sit and read. There is a sense of richness in silence and this quote perfectly captures the beauty of the library.
