About This Quote
People are like books. Eventually, the focus shifts from the cover to the story that cannot be read in one sitting. This quote is a direct reference to the fact that people are not static, but rather change over time. A person may start out the same way that the author of this quote describes, but after time passes their reactions and habits will change. This makes people unlike books in that they are not fixed entities.
