Books may not judge you, but people do.

About This Quote

In the world of books, you can escape from all kinds of judgment. Nobody will be able to judge you. However, in the real world, there are many ways in which people can judge you. A book can’t make someone love you or hate you.

It can’t make a person look at you in a different way. You may not find a person who loves a book that he doesn’t like, but people still think about how they look to others when they see someone reading their book. If they see you reading a book, they may change their perception of you.

This quote speaks to how people judge us every day and whether we realize it or not, we are judged every day by others.
