Quote by Walter Savage Landor

What is reading, but silent conversation.

What is reading, but silent conversation.

Summary

This quote suggests that reading is more than simply comprehending words on a page; it is a form of communication. Reading allows one to engage in a conversation with the writer, even though it is silent and one-sided. It implies that through reading, ideas are exchanged, thoughts are shared, and understanding is developed. Just as in a conversation, reading involves interpreting and connecting with the words, actively participating in a dialogue with the author's thoughts and perspectives. This quote invites us to appreciate reading as an interactive and transformative experience.
