Knowledge is humanistic in quality not because it is about human products in the past, but because of what it does in liberating human intelligence and human sympathy.
What is important is not the quantity of your knowledge but its quality. You can know many things without knowing the most important.
Read first the best books. The important thing for you is not how much you know, but the quality of what you know.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
That will change over time the entire flow of information and the entire quality of knowledge in the country and it will change the way people will try to play games in the legislative process.
Learning, like money, may be of so base a coin as to be utterly void of use.
