More From Frank Knight

Stories are there to be told, and each story changes with the telling. time changes them. logic changes them. grammar changes them. history changes them. each story is shifted side-ways by each day that unfolds. nothing ends. the only thing that matters, as faulkner once put it, is the human heart in conflict with itself. at the heart of all this is the possibility, or desire, to create a piece of art that talks to the human instinct for recovery and joy.
Art Recovery Joy
It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent; because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which are the causes and effects of the true motions.

Christians do not practically remember that while we are saved by grace, altogether by grace, so that in the matter of salvation works are altogether excluded; yet that so far as the rewards of grace are concerned, in the world to come, there is an intimate connection between the life of the christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of christ's appearing.

Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. for as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the german mystics called "the i, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. by grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration.
Giving Up Humility Reality
All my novels are rooted in their time and in their place. the place of my novels is israel, almost without exception. almost without exception, my novels are rooted in israel because that's the place i know well. and, that's my gutsy advice to any young writer: write only about what you know well. don't write about that which you don't know.

The pace of science forces the pace of technique. theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. we do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? by a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.

Arithmetic must be discovered in just the same sense in which columbus discovered the west indies, and we no more create numbers than he created the indians.

One thing that makes the adventure of working in our field particularly rewarding, especially in attempting to improve the theory, is that... a chief criterion for the selection of a correct hypothesis... seems to be the criterion of beauty, simplicity, or elegance.
Adventure Science Simplicity
Science begins with the world we have to live in, accepting its data and trying to explain its laws. from there, it moves toward the imagination: it becomes a mental construct, a model of a possible way of interpreting experience. the further it goes in this direction, the more it tends to speak the language of mathematics, which is really one of the languages of the imagination, along with literature and music. art, on the other hand, begins with the world we construct, not with the world we see. it starts with the imagination, and then works toward ordinary experience.

Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.
