“I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books”

— Jorge Luis Borges

Copied to clipboard

Simplified Meaning:

Some people need to have books around them to feel comfortable and at ease. Books can make them feel safe and happy, the same way someone might feel when they have their favorite blanket or a picture of their family near them. For example, think about a person who loves a specific toy from childhood and keeps it close to feel relaxed. In the same way, someone who loves reading might feel more at home with books nearby. This doesn't necessarily mean they always read all of them, but just having the books there brings a sense of peace and contentment. So, if you love something, having it close by can help you feel more comfortable and help you sleep better at night.
