Books are like
a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to
look out.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher
Without books
the development of civilization would have been impossible.
They are the engines of change, windows on the world,
''Lighthouses'' as the poet said ''erected in the sea of
time.'' They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of
the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher

To buy books
would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read
them.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer

Reading is
equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of
with one's own.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher
Buying books
would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read
them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for
the appropriation of their contents.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher
I've never
know any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.
-- Charles de Secondat
