Another way to read multiple inputs within a loop which can handle an input with spaces:

package main
import (

func main() {
    scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
    var text string
    for text != "q" {  // break the loop if text == "q"
        fmt.Print("Enter your text: ")
        scanner.Scan()
        text = scanner.Text()
        if text != "q" {
            fmt.Println("Your text was: ", text)
        }
    }
}

Output:

Enter your text: Hello world!
Your text was:  Hello world!
Enter your text: Go is awesome!
Your text was:  Go is awesome!
Enter your text: q
