I read because one life isn't enough, and in the pages of a book I can be anybody. I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life. I read not for happy endings, but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map. I read because every journey begins at the library, and its time for me to start packing. I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everyone and I want to be ready. -- "Love is Not Enough" by Richard Peck
