Nothing much happens if you’re on the outside looking in, because learning to read requires a miraculous feat of brain circuitry, fueled by a crucial and equally invisible ingredient: attention.

…reading is a demanding activity that shapes you in mind and body.

Whether we’re looking for information on a diagnosis of cancer or writing a work report, uncertainty is an essential component of the process, not an unwelcome impediment to learning.

Reading literally and in a larger sense is an act of will, spirit, attention, and confidence.

The possibility of clinging to the surface of life has always existed. And yet in honing the art of skimming across infinite texts are we losing the hard-fought skill of delving beneath the surface?

To navigate the literate world, we must build a literate brain, then work past uncertainty to construct our own frameworks of interpretation.

…we cannot make meaning out of the unsifted and the random, no matter how hard we try.

To fully understand the rich intricacy of any writing… we must go deeply into the text.

…books provide an unending adventure not only of the mind but of the senses.

In an age of virtual, mobile, split-focus distraction, the book is a link both to body and spirit.
