"Reading makes me feel I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. ... Reading is bliss."

Previous Quote

When people felt pain time and time again, they came to fear that pain above all other things. So they tried to ignore it, to forget it was happening, as a way of bearing it. And pretty soon, they would come to feel like they'd accomplished something just by doing that -- even though nothing had changed.
