Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interest

Summary

This quote suggests that engaging in thought and contemplation can be more stimulating than simply having knowledge, as it allows for imagination and speculation. However, it also implies that observing and experiencing the world directly can be even more captivating than mere intellectual processes. It emphasizes the importance of being curious, actively observing one's surroundings, and balancing the pursuit of knowledge with the richness of sensory experiences.
