From Daniel Deronda by George Eliot - a very apt quote for today's political landscape!:
"It is a common sentence that Knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of Ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down."

I found my word of the day--"wherry"-- in George Elliot's Daniel Deronda.
It means: "A light rowing-boat used chiefly on rivers to carry passengers and goods."
I had never heard it in Canada before.

l finished Daniel Deronda—and with it, my journey through all of George Eliot's novels. Since January 2024, I've been reading them chronologically. Each book has felt like stepping into a world at once brimming with intellect and alive with feeling. An appreciation: www.instagram.com/p/DNjvL8QAH5...

This is a funny sentence in George Eliot's Daniel Deronda if you think of a thong as "a skimpy garment," which I did at first.
"The truth ... came like a lacerating thong"
But thong didn't mean "a skimpy garment" until long after Daniel Deronda was published.

I found my word of the day--"scapegrace"--in George Elliot's Daniel Deronda.
A person of reckless habits, who "escapes" the grace of God.
But it's often used playfully, as in this sentence from Thackery:
"He was the most charming young scapegrace in the army"
