Citation de Bouteyalamer
La lecture rend un homme complet, la conversation rend un homme alerte, et l’écriture rend un homme précis. C’est pourquoi, si un homme écrit peu, il doit avoir une bonne mémoire ; s’il cause peu, il doit avoir l’esprit vif ; et s’il lit peu, il doit avoir beaucoup de ruse, pour paraître savoir ce qu’il ne sait pas.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory ; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not.
Francis Bacon, cité par A Compagnon dans sa leçon inaugurale au CdF
