Changing Ourselves, both Past and Future

Throughout this blog there are many quotes and books that point to the reality of changing ourselves.

Reading is the key. It tell us, as C.S. Lewis said:

“The good of literature is that we want to become more than ourselves, we want to see with others eyes, to imagine with others imaginations, to feel with others hearts, as well as our own.” 

For me the more I read the more this truth becomes not just something that I believe, but something that I know.

T.S. Eliot's comment seems to add to what Lewis said: "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time".

It must mean that we not only can change the future but we can change how we see the past.
