Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with the information we read. Simply absorbing knowledge from books or other sources is not enough; we must critically analyze and process it through our own thoughts in order to truly make it our own. Reading provides us with the necessary materials, but it is our ability to think about and make connections between those materials that allows us to deepen our understanding and integrate the knowledge into our own perspectives.
