Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes
The most foolish kind of a book is a kind of leaky boat on the sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow.
Summary
This quote suggests that even the seemingly foolish or flawed books contain some form of wisdom that manages to permeate the reader's understanding. It likens books to leaky boats on the vast sea of wisdom, indicating that even if only fragments of wisdom exist within these books, they will still find a way to seep into one's knowledge and consciousness. Therefore, one should not disregard or dismiss any book outright, as there is always some value to be discovered, regardless of the book's appearance or reputation.
