Nourishment

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799), Waste Books J.133 (tr. R.J. Hollingdale):
I forget most of what I have read, just as I do most of what I have eaten, but I know that both contribute no less to the conservation of my mind and my body on that account.

Ich vergesse das meiste, was ich gelesen habe, so wie das, was ich gegessen habe; ich weiss aber soviel, beides trägt nichtsdestoweniger zur Erhaltung meines Geistes und meines Leibes bei.
