What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote. Books are the training weights of the mind that maketh a full man; a home without books is a body without soul. Read, not to contradict and confute; not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Don’t just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better. The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
