About This Quote
Have you ever tried to read a book about art? If you have, you know it’s not the easiest thing in the world to understand. For example, if one of your books says that a painting is “a picture of something,” another book might say that paintings are “pictures of other pictures painted by other people.” As you can see, the way things are explained in books is often different from the way they are explained in life. And this is why books are sometimes helpful but always dangerous.
