People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
Logan Pearsall Smith
Life is a book that someone else is reading—and you, a key character—hence the need for continual conflict and resolution. We can't have any boring books.
Richelle E. Goodrich
A life without books is empty.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Read. You can always talk with another reader.
Rorke Denver, Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior
Life is a story, until I awake and saw life as a dream.

Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I read so I might live a thousand lives in a lifetime. I write to control the particulars in those lives.
Richelle E. Goodrich
{...} I was okay with things the way they were. No, not okay: I longed and suffered and pined with the rest of humanity. Sometimes I was happy enough with the book I was reading or the book I was writing, and the life I was stuck inside felt like a house on a rainy day. But most of the time I was just plain dying to get out. All I needed—all I have ever needed—was someone to challenge me, to serve as a goad, an instigator, a stirrer of the pot. I hated trouble, but I loved troublemakers. I hated chance and uncertainty, but I was drawn to those who showed up on your doorstep with their own pair of dice.
Michael Chabon, Manhood for Amateurs

Or see it on a TV screen
