“We get one chance at this life. We have one body, one mind, and one life to live. Reading provides us with a vicarious experience of others' lives.”
“There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.”
“One Reads to Experience Life, But one Writes to Live...”
“It's a shame that we have to live, but it's a tragedy that we get to live only one life.”
“It is not true that 'we have only one life to live'; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.”
“It is not true we have only one life to love, if we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.”
