All It Takes Is One Teacher -

Time Spent Reading, Like Time Spent Loving, Increases Our Lifetime.

By Making Time To Read, Like Making Time To Love, We Expand Our Time For Living.

The Paradoxical Virtue Of Reading Lies In Distancing Ourselves From The World So That We May Make Sense Of It.

If You`re Wondering How You`ll Find Time, It Means You Don`t Really Want To Read. Because Nobody`s Ever Got Time. Children Certainly Haven`t, Nor Have Teenagers Or Grown-ups. Life Always Gets In The Way. <...> Time To Read Is Always Time Stolen. <...> Stolen From What? From The Tyranny Of Living.”- P.125

Once A Book Falls Into Our Possession, It Is Ours, The Same Way Children Lay Their Claim: 'that's My Book.' As If It Were Organically Part Of Them. That Must Be Why We Have So Much Trouble Returning Borrowed Books. It's Not Exactly Theft (of Course Not, We're Not Thieves, What Are You Implying?); It's Simply A Slippage In Ownership Or, Better Still, A Transfer Of Substance. That Which Belonged To Someone Else Becomes Mine When I Look At It. And If I Like What I Read, Naturally I'll Have Difficulty Giving It Back.
