“Students and scholars of all kinds and of every age aim, as a rule, only at information, not insight. They make it a point of honour to have information about everything, every stone, plant, battle, or experiment and about all books, collectively and individually. It never occurs to them that information is merely a means to insight, but in itself is of little or no value.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“Semi-colons only prove that the author has been to college.”
― E.B. White

“Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them; but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Counsels and Maxims

“Her imagination was by habit ridiculously active; when the door was not open it jumped out the window.”
― Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
