Quotation of the Day for October 5, 2014"Well, in this extraneous, professional, purchased ornamentation, you have something which Style is not: and if you here require a practical rule of me, I will present you with this: "Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey it--wholeheartedly--and delete it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings."" - Arthur Quiller-Couch, from his book On the Art of Writing. Submitted by: Terry Labach Apr. 19, 2014  |
