  1. “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.”
