"To read well, that is, to read the right books in the right mood, is an ennobling occupation, and tests the reader more than many things which the fashion of the day demands. We have to train in the same way that athletes train their bodies, so to speak, we have to move steadily towards this goal throughout our lives.

To read well, that is, to read the right books in the right mood, is an ennobling occupation, and tests the reader more than many things which the fashion of the day demands. We have to train in the same way that athletes train their bodies, so to speak, we have to move steadily towards this goal throughout our lives.
""Jól olvasni, azaz megfelelő könyveket olvasni megfelelő hangulatban, ez nemesítő elfoglaltság, és jobban próbára teszi az olvasót, mint sok minden, amit a nap divatja megkövetel. Olyasformán kell hozzáedződnünk, mint ahogy az atléták edzették testüket, úgyszólván egész életünkön át szilárdul kell haladnunk e cél felé."
