About This Quote
The best book imaginable has a negative quality if it gets a young person to read. The essence of this quote lies in the idea that there is a good and bad quality to just about everything. This is the case with reading, which can bring great pleasure and enjoyment, or cause great harm and unhappiness. I’m not saying that there aren’t worthwhile books, but we need to be careful when we choose what we read.
