Good literature invites us to think more deeply, feel more fully, and understand the emotions of others.
It opens our eyes to new perspectives and transports us to different times and places, sparking thoughts and images that linger. At its best, literature connects us to enduring truths—those shared beliefs and questions that have shaped society across generations.

Whether written today or centuries ago, good writing still resonates. It moves us, teaches us, and—above all—reminds us what it means to be human.

As C.S. Lewis once reflected:

“The good of literature is that we want to be more than ourselves.
We want to see with others’ eyes, to imagine with other imaginations,
to feel with other hearts as well as our own.” (paraphrased)
