Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small on

Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge has a contrasting effect on individuals with large and small brains. For those with large brains, knowledge fills and expands their mental capacity, allowing them to absorb more information. However, for individuals with small brains, acquiring knowledge does not enhance their cognitive abilities but rather inflates their sense of self-importance. In other words, the quote implies that knowledge is beneficial for those already capable of understanding and processing information, but it can have a negative impact on those with limited intellectual capacity.

People who use their erudition to write for a learned minori

People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.
