“
Well-written books, among other things, birth the capacity for well-expressed thought: the simple ability to say what you mean – even to understand for yourself what you mean – in words that fully express all of who you are and the truth of your emotions, without resorting to busing windows, setting cars on fire, plunging airplanes into buildings, fists into someone’s face. And the ability to empathize – cultivated by literature, by the arts — helps keep those urges in check when they arise.Abigail R. Esman, Forbes.com
