"The fact is that not only the grounds of opinion are forgotten in the absence of discussion, but too often the meaning of the opinion itself. The words which convey it cease to suggest ideas, or suggest only a small portion of those they were originally employed to communicate. Instead of a vivid conception and a living belief, there remain only a few phrases retained by rote: or, if any part, the shell and husk only of the meaning is retained, the finer essence being lost." -- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
