Henri Matisse -- Woman Reading in Garden, 1902

"Stories take us out of ourselves and deeper into ourselves at the exact same time. They are specific and universal. Big and small. Something and everything."

  4. That is indeed a lovely - and true - quote. It expresses the very best reason for reading. My own reading has been sparse to nonexistent this year but I am determined to get back on track this week.

  8. I agree with everyone, great quote. The woman in the picture has about the same position I often take when reading. Maybe she needs glasses, too.
