A good book is undeniable in value-- it allows you to escape in a way that you could never imagine. By reading, you allow yourself to travel to new places that wouldn't be possible outside the pages of that book. As a reader myself, I believe that the amount of knowledge you can gain from a book is endless. So, here are 21 Quotes About Reading That Are Undeniably True.


1. "Reading is dreaming with open eyes."

2. "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one."

3. "Reading forces you to be quiet in a world that no longer makes place for that."

4. "Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are."

5. "The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library."

6. "I am a part of everything that I have read."

7. "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers."

8. "In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own."

9. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

10. "We lose ourselves in books; we find ourselves there too."

11. "When reading, we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their souls."

12. "Books build a stairway to your imagination."

13. "You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book."

14. "One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."

15. "A room without books is like a body without a soul."

16. "I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting than yours will ever be."

17. "I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them."

18. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something-- a thought or a feeling, a way of looking at things-- which you had thought special and particular to you and now, here it is , set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone who is even long dead, and it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours."

19. "Some stories stay with us forever."


20. "You can borrow a book, but you get to keep the ideas."

21. "What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world. Worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us to understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean. They show us how to live and die."

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
