Basically what they mean is that instead of spending money on the latest and greatest camera body, it's the lenses that matter and retain value for years.

As for what lens is good, this depends on what you need. Use the kit lens first. If you need to as k "what lens is good" then you SHOULD NOT BUY ANY LENSES as your skill is so low you do not even know what you need and you would just be a chop carrot for salesmen.

And do NOT BUY AT SIM LIM.
