truth.

"To me, words were like incantations that could conjure fantastic worlds in the mind and take me places i had never been. I devoured books, hunted words in dictionaries, and was a library junkie by the time I was eight...They taught me that reading literature could teach you about the universal human eperience. Maybe you'll never hunt another man in the jungle. Maybe you won't climb Mt. Kilimanjaro or watch a bullfight in the afternoon-you don't have to. The world's a big place. You can't do or be everything, nor should you . Life is bigger than anyone man. But when you read about other people's lives, when you read their stories, you catch a glimpse of a world bigger than your own. You may never travel a hundred miles from where you were born, but if you read stories, you'll get to see the entire world." -Waiter Rant
