The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short. Arthur Schopenhauer
One can never read too little of bad, or too much of good books: bad books are intellectual poison; they destroy the mind. In order to read what is good one must make it a condition never to read what is bad; for life is short, and both time and strength limited. Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer quote: "The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best..."
The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it. Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer quote: "Life is short and truth works far and lives long: let us speak..."
Life is short and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth. Arthur Schopenhauer
