“Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.”

Bookwomble @Chelseabillups30 I liked your short Epictetus quote and was moved to find the passage from which it was taken 😊 I have his works in my TBR pile - I'll try to get to him this year! 5y
