Quote by A.M. Hudson

Books are the reality you get to choose; life is the reality you hide from inside a book.

Books are the reality you get to choose; life is the reality

Summary

This quote suggests that books offer us the opportunity to escape from our realities and immerse ourselves in different worlds and perspectives. It highlights the idea that books allow us to select the reality we want to experience, while in contrast, real life often requires us to confront the challenges and limitations that we may prefer to avoid. Through books, we can temporarily hide within the pages and explore limitless possibilities, while life demands us to confront the inherent uncertainties and complexities it presents.
