Vijay KediaDon’t learn literature from a history teacher.
About This Quote
A history professor can help you understand history, but if you are looking for the way to read literature, then you will have to look elsewhere. While it is true that reading a book can give you some insight into the writer’s life, it doesn’t teach you how to read. When you read, you use different parts of your brain than when you are listening. The same is true with art. By studying art, you are not learning how to create it.
