About This Quote
This quote is about the importance of reading books, especially books that are rare and valuable. It is better to focus on making great books than it is to focus on not falling down when reading. Books are quite valuable and some of them can be worth thousands of dollars. That means that if you spend your time reading while falling down, you might break your book. However, if you read your book carefully while staying on your feet, you can still get an idea of it.
