"La literatura es donde voy a explorar los lugares más altos y más bajos de la sociedad humana y del espíritu humano, donde espero encontrar no la verdad absoluta sino la verdad del cuento, de la imaginación y del corazón"
— Salman Rushdie

Simplified Meaning:
Books and stories let us see the best and worst sides of people and society. They show how people feel and act, both in good times and bad. When we read, we aren't necessarily looking for facts. Instead, we're trying to understand different perspectives, emotions, and experiences. It's like looking through a window into someone else's life. For example, reading a novel about someone dealing with loss can help us understand what it's like to go through grief, even if we haven't experienced it ourselves. By exploring these stories, we can grow more empathetic and wise, learning about the human spirit and imagination in ways that facts alone can't teach us.
