Doctor Seuss once said: "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

The ability to read and write is both creative and destructive. This ability opens your eyes to the world and how beautiful it can be. It also has the potential to destroy your entire grip on reality and expose you to the actual world you live in. It imprisons you yet, releases you from your mental confinement.
