“ Not everything that is learned is contained in books. “

There are various things you can learn from books. Unimaginable, unreachable things.
With the information you can get from a book, you gain the knowledge you couldn’t have imagined about. Or to see things you never could’ve seen otherwise.

Me for instance have never been in Paris to see the Eiffel Tower which is a global icon of France. But I have knowned it from the books I read like I also learned the historie of France. And there is no such a thing as going back to the past but I have learned all those things about France from the books I read.

On the other hand I also read meal recipes. I read about for example how to make a pizza. I learn the igredients of the pizza i want to learn to bake, the way it supposed to be done. But by reading those recipes having all these information in, gives me only the idea of how i could bake a pizza. But i will never get to learn how my pizza is going to taste like, i will never experience that by just reading. All I will get to know is how to make a pizza and how Eiffel Tower looks like and for what and by whoms it’s built. The information I gained on this way about the Eiffel Tower doesn’t compare to the experience of the enjoyment you can have by having the amazing vieuw from it.

Hence i agree with the above statement. There are just so many things to learn in life. Things you just can’t learn by only reading about it. A book can’t descripe the bound between a mother and her child the love they share. Or the smell of a rose. These are just a few other examples of the knowledge you only get to learn by experiences .
