“326. Excessive reading does not make us smarter. Some people simply
"devour" books. They do it without the necessary intervals of thought, which are necessary in order to "digest," to process what has been read, to absorb and comprehend it.

as a bee requires "inner" work, as well as time, to transform pollen into honey.”
