Books Quote by Ianthe Brautigan
““My parents weren't interested in recommending books to me. Reading was an act of revolution, therefore I was expected to find my own way. Neither of them read to become well-rounded or for just the luxury of escape. Instead books gave them each a personal vision that became their road out of the limited circumstances that they had been born into.””
