Better world Quote by Kevin Wade Johnson
““We don't have a lot of choice about the world we live in. But we do have choices about our world-view. ... We read to spend time with inspiring people, to inspire us as we live in our own world. We read to spend time in a better world, a world that can give us insights to improve our own. We read to live in a different world, to improve our perspective on our own.””
