Wisdom does not make me full. It fills me with hunger.

About This Quote

This quote talks about how wisdom is not food, but rather that wisdom is the fuel that makes us more hungry for it. It’s like a dieter who eats the right foods every day yet still overindulges over the weekend. Wisdom is more like an appetite, an ever-growing need to know more.
