Mao Zedong Quotes

“To read too many books is harmful.”

Mao Zedong's quote says that reading too many books is dangerous and harmful.

We must first realize that we are being manipulated, after which we must get out of this atmosphere of manipulation.

So we read many books because the more we know, the more independent we are.
