In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information.

D’Angelo’s line plays on the metaphor of “thirst” for learning to warn that the modern abundance of facts can become counterproductive. It distinguishes knowledge-seeking from mere information accumulation: without selection, synthesis, and reflection, a person can feel overwhelmed, distracted, or paralyzed by too many inputs. The quote implicitly advocates for discernment—prioritizing what matters, building understanding, and turning information into usable insight. It also anticipates contemporary concerns about information overload in education, media, and the internet, suggesting that wisdom involves not only curiosity but also the ability to filter, pace oneself, and integrate learning into coherent judgment.
