“Individuals who frequently read fiction seem to be better able to understand other people, empathize with them and see the world from their perspective.”
Annie Murphy Paul

“For many centuries people have believed that there is continuity between the individual in utero and the individual in the world; now there is solid evidence that this ancient belief is correct, albeit in a far more complex and nuanced way than our ancestors ever imagined.
But science can't tell us everything we need to know about this new perspective; there's always a gap where the hard evidence of the laboratory meets the soft flesh of our bodies.”
Annie Murphy Paul, Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives
