“We read to learn and to grow, to laugh, to be motivated, and to understand things we've never been exposed to. We read for strength to help us when we feel broken, discouraged or afraid. We read to find hope.

― Joan Bauer

“Is it fair to have given us the memory of what was and the desire of what could be when we must suffer what is?”
