Books are a portable kind of time travel. We go back as well as forward when we read them. When we come back into the now, after being immersed in worlds previously unknown to us, we find ourselves, transformed. Touched by their magic, nothing we ever perceived beforehand remains quite the same. Suzy Davies
About This Quote

This quote is one of my favorite quotes. I always loved to read books and thought about how it makes people feel different after reading them. The book can make you live in something new and make the world look different. If you pick up a book it will take you to another place that you haven’t been before, it will take you to another world that you haven’t been before, it will take you to another time where there is no one like you, it will take you to another person that no one knows like yourself, it will make the world seem like a different place.

The first time I read this quote I felt so happy because if I was transported to another world, I would be free because there is no one like me there. It would be so great.
