"In a world where meaning is often absent or imposed, reading offers a dialogue with ourselves, with society, with history, and with the dead."

Previous Quote

By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.
