Blog # 1: Why I chose the quote I did.

For my quote I chose "The World is a book, and those that do not travel, have only read the first page." by St. Augustine. After reading numerous quotes, this is the one that spoke to me the most. I think it spoke to me because of how much reading means to me, and the large role reading plays in my life. I consider travelling and reading quite adventurous, and exciting. I believe the two are similar because they can both take you away from where you are, to a different place. If you only read the first page of a book, its like stopping a exciting trip, right when you get to the airport.  But, if you travel on with the book, it can bring you new knowledge, new adventures, you can meet new people, and enjoy new happiness. The more you explore the World, the more it opens up to you, just like books. I picked this quote out of all the others because it represents me the greatest.
