A clean well lighted place

Literature can move you, but literature can also get away with lies, exaggerations, over-indulgent romanticizing of practical day to day events, feelings, and thoughts and make them seem bigger, or lesser than they really are. Literature can make you peer inside your head and come out with treasures you didn't even know existed, but it can also make you scoff at yourself for being, thinking, and sounding too plain, before you quickly remedy that by seeing how plain is just a word some people thought up to cover up their fears of individuality.
