 Learning without thought is labour lost; 

thought without learning is perilous. lb.

-Confucius

 

Don't part with you illusions

When they are gone, you may still exist,     

but you have ceased to live. lb.

-Mark Twain

Novels have been around for centuries, perhaps since the first existence of words and writings itself.  Writers have broadened our horizons with their lengthy volumes of novels.  Expanding our imaginations as we know it, and playing games with our minds as the story unfolds.  Novels have widened our world for ages and continue to do so today.
