Maryanne Wolf
“When we pass over into how a knight thinks, how a heroine behaves, and how an evildoer can regret or deny wrongdoing, we never come back quite the same; sometimes we're inspired, sometimes saddened, but we are always enriched. Through this exposure we learn both the commonality and the uniqueness of our own thoughts -- that we are individuals, but not alone.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain

Maryanne Wolf
“Biologically and intellectually, reading allows the species to go “beyond the information given” to create endless thoughts most beautiful and wonderful.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain

Maryanne Wolf
“So much of a child’s life is lived for others. . . . All the reading I did as a child, behind closed doors, sitting on the bed while the darkness fell around me, was an act of reclamation. This and only this I did for myself. This was the way to make my life my own.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain

Maryanne Wolf
“Reading changes our lives, and our lives change our reading.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain

Maryanne Wolf
“Learning to read begins the first time an infant is held and read a story. How often this happens, or fails to happen, in the first five years of childhood turns out to be one of the best predictors of later reading.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain
