"Life without literature is a life reduced to penury. It expands you in every way. It illuminates what youâ€™re doing. It shows you possibilities you havenâ€™t thought of. It enables you to live the lives of other people than yourself. It broadens you, it makes you more human. It makes life enjoyable."
