“It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
Simplified Meaning:
When you read a book or look at a picture, you should confidently enjoy what you find beautiful in it. Think about visiting an art gallery: there are many paintings, but some might catch your eye more than others. You don't need to worry if other people like different paintings; just focus on the ones you love. The same goes for books. Not everyone will like the same story or the same writing style, and that's okay. The important thing is to trust your own feelings and appreciate the parts that speak to you. By doing this, you can enjoy your experience more and find more joy in what you read or see.
