If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.

If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain

Summary

This quote suggests that if knowledge is considered powerful, then faith has even greater influence, leading to an increased power and elevation of human character. It implies that while knowledge is important, faith has the ability to transform and strengthen a person's character in ways that mere knowledge cannot. This suggests that faith provides a deeper connection to something beyond oneself, offering strength, guidance, and a moral compass that can profoundly shape one's actions and choices.

To write or even speak English is not a science but an art.

To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.

In everything, almost in everything, I wrote I was guided by

In everything, almost in everything, I wrote I was guided by the need of collecting ideas which, linked together, would be the expression of myself, though each individual idea, expressed separately in words, loses its meaning, is horribly debased when only one of the links, of which it forms a part, is taken by itself. But the interlinking of these ideas is not, I think, an intellectual process, but something else, and it is impossible to express the source of this interlinking directly in words; it can only be done indirectly by describing images, actions, and situations in words.
