It seems leenco12 stole that quote from the post after the one he quoted. bu bye.

Maybe he's just new here and thought he was commenting on BigV's signature line... which I think is one of the best.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-09-2010, 08:17 AM

No. He stole the quote intact from the next post and commented on nothing.

That's a great quote Lamplighter.

No one can draw more out of things, books included, than he already knows. A man has no ears for that to which experience has given him no access. anon

Welcome to the Cellar, Czarina.

I'm not quite sure what to make of quote. I've leaned much from books, of and about, things I wasn't even aware existed. It's often prompted me to investigate more about the subject. So either I disagree, or I don't understand what he was getting at?

It sounds like an overwrought way to say we only hear what we want to hear or are able to understand.

Or "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." something like that.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-30-2010, 06:46 PM

That's what I thought at first, but to extend it to books is really a stretch.

Basically what I am getting at is that when people have first ahnd experience with something, hands on, so to speak, they have a greater foundation from which to speak. For example, if you have never smoked pot, you really can't say what it is about. People often times go through life living through the experiences of other people, and taking that second hand experience as truth. If I have never known anyone who was schizophrenic, I can read all day long about the disorder, but now that I know someone who is schizophrenic, that information falls into place perfectly. Before, I had nothing to put with the information I had read.

Sure, having some experience helps evaluate, and perhaps better understand, what you read., But I don't think lack of experience precludes learning something from books, otherwise we wouldn't use them to teach.
