Imagine if everyone who could read took the time to pick up a book. Imagine if we could reach across time and space with our words, our voices clear, infinite, and significant. Imagine if, for the first time in human history, we had the empathy to live without wars, deception, or hate.

Imagine if we could feel each other's hope pulsing within our own chests.

It's the kind of world we imagine on good days, but it should also be the kind of world we almost see if we open our eyes wide enough, because it's the kind of world we can create if we have the courage to lead by example. At One Million Pages, we believe that art, including literature, breaks down barriers of prejudice and ignorance. By joining together as readers, we can show the world how easy it is to let art in.

In time, the very example of our collaborative effort will inspire others to join us, and the more people who are on board, the more change we can create. We can hit a million pages, a billion pages, a trillion pages as more and more people are inspired to be inspired, and with every page we will know that lives are being changed.
