Summary

This quote suggests that books have the power to challenge the established norms and expand our imagination, just like dreams do. By distributing ideas and concepts in a bold and unrestricted manner, books have the ability to rejuvenate and inspire us. They allow us to explore different perspectives, question the status quo, and ultimately help us regain a sense of agency and empowerment. Through the liberating nature of books, we are prompted to think critically and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.
