Reading changes lives. It opens your mind to dimensions you hadn’t imagined before. Humans have always passed down wisdom: through art, stories, and books. The more you read, the less frightening life becomes. Growth and healing begin with reflection, and reading remains one of the most profound ways to reflect.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
— George R.R. Martin
