“在受教育期间,”
英国哲学家赫伯特·斯宾塞说,“要最大限度地鼓励自我发展的过程,指引孩子们自己去探索研究,并得出他们自己的结论。
尽可能减少对他们的灌输,而要引导他们自己去发现。
只需通过自我教育,人性便能不断进步;要想达到最佳效果,每个人的思想必须经历同样的方式。
那些自力更生者所取得的突出成就,就不断证明了这一事实。”
英国诗人托马斯·胡德说:“书籍让我远离花天酒地、乌烟瘴气的场所。
阅读蒲柏和艾迪森的书,我的思想经过莎士比亚和弥尔顿沉默演讲的洗礼,更加高尚,从而让我不再追寻或忍受粗俗、邪恶的行为。”
“如果我有一点钱,”
荷兰哲学家伊拉斯谟说道,“我会去买书。
如果还有多余的钱,我才会买食品和衣物。”
英国女作家蒙塔古夫人说:“没有哪种娱乐像读书一样廉价,也没有一种乐趣能如此长久。”
好书能提升人的个性,净化人的品位,使人摆脱低级趣味,带我们进入更高层次的思想和生活。
但这并非简单地读一本高尚的、鼓舞人心的书就能实现。
如果一个人带着进步与快乐的追求读一本书的话,那他的谈吐就会变得富有内涵。
也许没有其他东西能像书籍一样拥有如此的力量:它能让穷苦的人摆脱贫困,令可怜的人脱离不幸,使肩负重担的人忘记他的负荷,为病人减轻痛苦,让悲哀的人忘记忧愁,让被压迫的人忘记苦难。
