Just as food eaten without caring for it is turned into loathsome nourishment, so study without a taste for it spoils memory, by retaining nothing which it has taken in.[Sicome il mangiare sanza voglia fia dannoso alla salute, così lo studio sanza desiderio guasta la memoria, e no’ ritiene cosa ch’ella pigli.]
