“When you read a great book, you don't escape from life, you plunge deeper into it.”
“When you read a good book, you don’t escape from life, you plunge deeper into it”—”
“Whatever the reason for wanting to escape, sane or insane, zoo detractors should realize that animals don't escape to somewhere but from something.”
