He has left off reading altogether, to the great improvement

Summary

This quote suggests that someone has stopped reading completely, which has led to a significant enhancement of their originality. In this context, "originality" refers to the ability to think independently and creatively. By cutting off reading, the person is likely avoiding the influence of other authors and ideas, allowing their own unique thoughts and perspectives to flourish. This implies that the individual's creativity and authenticity have blossomed as a result of this deliberate disconnection from external sources of information and inspiration.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. You disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. You trample upon things. When a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale; and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.
