Summary
This quote suggests that people are generally more enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge or ideas with others (symbolized by lending books) than they are about offering assistance or resources (symbolized by lending bookcases). It highlights the tendency for individuals to be more generous with intangible things, such as information or experiences, rather than physical possessions or tangible support. The quote implies that we may find it easier to access valuable knowledge and insights from others, but obtaining practical help or material resources could be more challenging.
