“The monster is only scary while it is in the closet.
Once in the light,
you can see its many flaws
and weaknesses.

at what we shield our eyes from

“A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy.”
