This song from Joni Mitchell tells us not everything can be learned from books (both)

Life is different for everyone.
We may all go through the same experiences, but we will all interpret it our own way.
Only after we experience life events can we truly offer a perspective.
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now 1969
