About This Quote

Reading and naps, two of life's greatest pleasures, go especially well together. A nap is a wonderful thing. It’s a time for you to rest, regroup your thoughts and become recharged. When you read a book or magazine or even just a newspaper, it’s a way to escape from the world around you for a short period of time. In the example that Nelson Mandela gave, reading and naps go especially well together because they have something in common: repose.
