Quote of the Day
Inside the pages of each and every book was a whole other world.
He could disappear inside that world whenever he needed to — whenever he felt the outside world, and other people, pressing in on him — a pressure from social contact and expectations that was surely routine for everyone else, but affected him much more intensely and inexplicably. But he could also experience things from other people’s points of view and learn their lessons alongside them, and — most important to him — discover the key to living a happy life.”
