Quote by Nicolas Malebranche
In this connection, faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.
Summary
This quote suggests that faith and personal experience can provide valuable insights and truths in a more efficient way. Rather than going through long processes of logical reasoning and empirical evidence, trust in a higher authority and relying on one's own positive emotions can help reveal important truths. It highlights the role of intuition and subjective experiences in understanding and discovering truths that may be difficult to grasp through rationality alone.
