Quote by Edward George BulwerLytton

Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise.

Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise.

Summary

This quote implies that reading should serve a purpose and be active rather than a passive activity. Just like sauntering refers to a slow, aimless walk, reading without a clear goal or objective can be the same - a purposeless and unproductive activity. To consider reading as a form of exercise, it suggests approaching it with intention, focus, and a desire to gain knowledge or insights, rather than simply engaging in it casually without any purpose or direction.

No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.
