읽기의 위험성

트리비아

반박하고 논쟁하기 위해서 읽지 마라.

맹목적으로 믿고 당연하게 받아들이기 위해서 읽지 마라.

대화와 담론의 소재를 찾기 위해서 읽지 마라.

읽기는 깊이 생각하고 숙고하기 위해서 하는 것이다.

Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
