Essays and Aphorisms: On thinking for yourself - Arthur Schopenhauer

This quote was added by typistnovice
Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts. Many books, moreover, serve merely to show how many ways there are of being wrong, and how far astray you yourself would go if you followed their guidance.
