My academic philosophy
One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool - George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism,
1945
Punctuation is. boring and dull and rarely, discussed, very few people. understand the rules and even. fewer care: to understand without punctuation; however written communication becomes!
unnecessarily - confusing a road without roadsigns: "No" reader. should have to decipher? poorly, punctuated, prose, do you agree: - William Wyatt, Stalking the Wild Semicolon, 1976
A quotation I found interesting in my recent reading
It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden," answered Eowyn. "And those who have not swords can still die upon them. - J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings,
Book III, The Return of the King.
