By I periodically come across a quote that seems to fit the theme of Literary Corner perfectly. I saw this the other day on a website called “Wandering Ambivert” (recommended for people who like inspiring pictures of nature). I love what this has to say.
Every time I read a great book I felt I was reading a kind of map, a treasure map, and the treasure I was being directed to was in actual fact myself. But each map was incomplete, and I would only locate the treasure if I read all the books, and so the process of finding my best self was an endless quest. And books themselves seemed to reflect this idea. Which is why the plot of every book ever can be boiled down to ‘someone is looking for something.’ —Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive
