Memorization has gotten a bad rap recently. Lots of students, and even some educators, say that being able to reason is more important than knowing facts; and besides, why bother committing things to memory when you've got Google?

It's not like you have to choose between one or the other. Besides, facts give you a foundation on which to reason about things. ↗

The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! ↗

Every philosophy is tinged with the coloring of some secret imaginative background, which never emerges explicitly into its train of reasoning. ↗

If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test. ↗
