There are so many kinds of keys such as the physical type that unlock doors and the metaphorical that unlock ideas. There are the key ideas of a thesis. Keys to the imagination, keys to the unknown, keys that we should not use and keys that open doors to delight. There are key ideas that cause us to grow or that illumine our world.
...
When we hold an unknown key in our hand, we need clues to find where the key belongs. Is there a safe, a jewelry box, a storage locker that it fits? Is there a buried chest or a trunk in an attic that will be opened by the key? Is it a key to a clockwork doll or the engine of a machine?
...
We speak of the keys to happiness, good health and wisdom. Someone holds the key to our heart. It is a potent image.
He stood there, looking across at the old house, imagining its past, and searching for a key to its owners. What he felt was ...sadness? No, that wasn’t it, it was a stronger emotion, something about the place that tugged at him.
Wings of Fire by Charles Todd pg. 31

Books that make us think and teach us new things are priceless. New keys turn inside us and unlock new ideas to explore. That is a major reason that we read, I believe. New ideas send us on a hunt for other books on the topic that enrich us.
...
Hurrah for authors who do great amounts of research and point us the way to growth.
...
What books do you treasure for enlarging your understanding of the world inside us and outside us?
