Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer
Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time

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

Other quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
