Thinking

Thinking consists in being conscious that one thinks.

John Locke

Learning without thinking is labor lost; thinking without learning is dangerous.

Chinese Proverb

You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting untrammeled nature to look at a herbarium or engravings of landscapes.

Arthur Schopenhauer
