 “Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.”

Alberto Manguel

To read

Is to live

Is to see

Beyond the covers

A world where

countless possibilities

still exists.

In times of uncertainty and trouble, reading can become a soothing therapy. And as clearly put by Alberto Manguel, “Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.”

This poem came easy to me. Thanks to the countless quotes on bookmarks that celebrate reading in all of its beauty. Here are a few.

 “Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, my pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them.”

 Arnold Lobel

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

Stephen King

And my all time favorite:

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Dr. Seuss
