About This Quote

You can never be wise unless you love reading. Reading is important for all of us. Reading gives us knowledge, wisdom and information. Without reading, we cannot learn anything.

The reason why people read books is to learn more about the world and how things work in it. If we want to be wise, we need to read books.
