About This Quote
The great philosopher and educator Johann Goethe said: “By reading books, you lose your old self and you find your new self! To read is to travel from self to another self!” He was referring to how we grow through reading. As we read, we get to learn about other people and other cultures. This can help us become more mature and more open-minded. We develop a sense of perspective by looking at the world from different points of view.
We also get to use our imagination to create new worlds that we did not even know existed. Reading lets us travel around the world and see things that no one else has ever seen before.
