It's actually so insane that we live in a time now where people can go their whole life without ever interacting with a horse. 100 years ago that was unthinkable. There are people who are 100 years old. The disappearance of the horse from daily life has happened within some people's lifetime.

These are my sanctuaries: music that stirs, nature that heals, poetry that whispers, and solitude that understands.

You should have a goal, in some sense, to be influenced by the works that you read. All stories influence you, regardless of how they get to you. A person who reads no great stories will be influenced by the few stories he does come across in life, for better or worse — and I think mostly worse. If you read what is excellent you will not suddenly become excellent, but a life that is sown with stories is one better positioned to think and dream. The more stories, the more likely one is to understand and identify all the influences that act upon oneself in life. He who has no poetry in himself will find poetry in nothing. A person that reads no stories is unready for life. A person that reads many stories will be open to yet more stories. The appetite grows by what it feeds on. Dine as best you can.
