The Cat Who Saved the Library

I'm not saying that it isn't important to succeed. But books teach us that other things are more vital. Like reaching out to help someone in need, listening to someone who is troubled, and understanding that there are things more valuable than money. They teach us ideas that can't be explained by logic alone, concepts that are perhaps not so much the norm these days, but used to be common sense. And everyone understood them. If you read a book, you'd understand immediately.'

Words are like a telescope. They help you see the things you want to see, but they leave you blind to everything else."
