Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life wit

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of focusing on historical events and theories, one should prioritize reading biographies. The reasoning behind this is that biographies provide insight into the lives and experiences of real people, offering a more tangible connection to human existence instead of abstract concepts and generalizations. By immersing ourselves in the stories of individuals, we gain a deeper understanding of life and human nature, devoid of theoretical interpretations. In essence, exploring biography allows us to embrace the raw essence of existence.
