Quote by Daniel J. Boorstin

Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.

Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that knowledge is not a finite resource or commodity that can be depleted through use; instead, it is a boundless entity that continuously expands and spreads through sharing and dispersal. Unlike physical goods, knowledge does not diminish in value or quantity when accessed or passed on to others. On the contrary, the more knowledge is diffused and shared, the more it grows and multiplies. This view highlights the importance of knowledge sharing as a means to foster intellectual growth and collective progress.
