“A vid comes to you, even at you. It’s visual, it’s auditory, and can, of course, pull you in. Its purpose is to do just that, draw you into the world you see and hear. But a book? You go into it.

You, as reader, interpret the tone of voice, the colors, the movement as you physically turn the pages.”
― J.D. Robb, Dark in Death

“Life should not be measured by time. The only thing that counts is how one uses the time one has.”
