Book Quote by Matt Haig

““There will be times in your life when you will feel lost and confused. The way back to yourself is through reading. There is not a problem in existence that has not been eased, somewhere and at some time, by a book. I want you to remember that. And the more you read, the more you will know how to find your way through those difficult times.””
