This statement is stupid and has nothing to do with what Schopenhauer said. It's almost the opposite of what he said. Why are you wasting our time? Go away.

It is from Parerga and Paralipomena, so he was somewhat old

If you truly love lit you should probably stop reading after the first good book you finish. Stop at your peak and all that.
