We learn not to let so much of the world in, because some­times it__ all too much, and we don__ have the resilience we need to survive it. When we__e six, we make best friends easily. When we__e fifty, we don__. That__ age and expe­rience for you.But books are different. We can let books in. We can wrap them up in our hearts. We can approach them as if we__e still young and open. Even so, it__ not as simple. Because we__e not as simple.(Source: State of the Writer, sort of, September 2015 - blog post)
