“At difficult times of my life, books have been an incredible comfort. When I was 12, I changed schools and my parents split up. It was then that I became addicted to reading. A great writer can attach themselves to your mind and heart, and you feel you understand the world better. As long as you have the capacity to read, you needn't be alone any more. I remember thinking as a child, "If I could give one person the comfort I keep getting from books, then I want to write."”
![“People put too much focus on books. Listen to stories. The stories of your peers, mentors, parents, etc. The life you're living [right now] is the best book to read, you just gotta listen as the pages [are] being written around you...” quote by Dom McLennon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0e4/dom-mclennon-137616_book_people-put-too-much-focus-on-books-liste_2906644.jpg)
