We’re all in a cave. You don’t have to live your life in a cage like I did to be limited by your experiences. Our physical worlds are small. But there’s a way out, y’all. It’s called a library, and it’s available to everyone. No child is too poor. No winter day is too cold. No cell is locked too tight. No matter who you are and where you are, your library is the door to a bigger and better world.

I read at least one book every week. No matter the circumstances, I make the time. Learning is a lifetime affliction, y’all.

…what attracts human attention is change. …if the temperature around you changes, if the phone rings — that gets your attention. The way in which a story begins is a starting event that creates a moment of change.
