Something to Think About. Another Quote.

“Good literature substitutes for experience which we have not ourselves lived
through.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn



This quote doesn't have as deep of a meaning as the last one I blogged about. Alexander means good literature, that we as individuals enjoy, will have a place in our minds with all our other memories, even though we might have not lived through those experiences. The more you continue to read, the more experiences you will live through.

This quote goes right along with the book I just finished, "White Fang." I may not have lived through a life as White Fang, or dealt with the experiences some of the characters within the story dealt with, but after reading the book, it seems that way. The book, by the way, was fantastic.
