"It's high time you were shownThat you..." - Quote by Dr Seuss

“Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don't always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive.... Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it."~”

“Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”

“The storm starts, when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.”

“If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.”

“Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.”

“We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know.”

“That way you can be certain to learn something you didn't know previously.”

“When I stand in a library where is all the recorded wit of the world, but none of the recording, a mere accumulated, and not trulycumulative treasure; where immortal works stand side by side with anthologies which did not survive their month, and cobweb and mildew have already spread from these to the binding of those; and happily I am reminded of what poetry is,--I perceive that Shakespeare and Milton did not foresee into what company they were to fall. Alas! that so soon the work of a true poet should be swept into such a dust-hole!”

“Who does not know that the first law of historical writing is the truth.”
