You omitted the one from the famous man (intentionally?):
"Much reading after a certain age diverts the mind from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."
[continues: "just as the man who spends too much time in the theaters is apt to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life"]
-- Albert Einstein

Great blogs, BTW.
Thanks for sharing that thought from the great man! You have a wonderful blog too!
