Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that while beauty may captivate our attention temporarily, it cannot genuinely engage and entertain us in the same way that engaging our minds can. Instead, the quote suggests that activities such as reading, writing, and thinking provide a more satisfying and prolonged source of amusement. It implies that intellectual stimulation and the pursuit of knowledge have a deeper and more substantial impact on our overall sense of enjoyment and fulfillment than mere aesthetic pleasure.
