Kurt Vonnegut, on reading and writing:


I believe that reading and writing are the most nourishing forms of meditation anyone has so far found.

By reading the writings of the most interesting minds in history, we meditate with our own minds and theirs as well.

This to me is a miracle.

– Kurt Vonnegut.
