People who have read a good deal rarely make great
discoveries. I do not say this in excuse of
laziness, but because invention presupposes an
extensive independent contemplation of things.
--Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799)
(In J. P. Stern's _Lichtenberg: A Doctrine
of Scattered Occasions_ [1959], "Further
Excerpts from Lichtenberg's Notebooks")
