Quote by John Ruskin
It is eminently a weariable faculty, eminently delicate, and incapable of bearing fatigue; so that if we give it too many objects at a time to employ itself upon, or very grand ones for a long time together, it fails under the effort, becomes jaded, exactly as the limbs do by bodily fatigue, and incapable of answering any farther appeal till it has had rest.
Summary
This quote suggests that the human mind is limited in its ability to handle a large amount of information or intense tasks for an extended period. Just like the body gets tired from physical effort, the mind can also become fatigued and lose its capacity to function effectively. Overloading it with too many objects or prolonged engagement with complex thoughts or activities can exhaust it. Taking breaks and giving the mind some rest is necessary for its optimal functioning and ability to process information or perform tasks efficiently.
