“You read too much and understand too little.”
“. . . weary of knowing too much and understanding too little.”
“...weary of k knowing too much and understanding too little.”
“Therefore I beg you, reader, not to rejoice too greatly if you have read much, but if you have understood much. Nor that you have understood much, but that you have been able to retain it. Otherwise it is of little profit either to read or to understand.”
“The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking..”
“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”
