Grammar is a piano gezegde

 Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.
  Joan Didion

 He's a grammar fanatic. He has a grammar fetish. He's the one who corrects everybody.

 American grammar doesn't have the sturdiness of British grammar (a British advertising man with a proper education can make magazine copy for ribbed condoms sound like the Magna goddam Carta), but it has its own scruffy charm
  Stephen King

 It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they ''speak with the accent of natives'' they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.

 English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin -- a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans. Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football. It is a patent absurdity. But once this insane notion became established, grammarians found themselves having to draw up ever more complicated and circular arguments to accommodate the inconsistencies.
  Bill Bryson

 Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation Then, in your exuberance and bounding energy you say you're going to add to that. Then you add rhyme and meter. And your delight is in that power.
  Robert Frost

 I fear we are not getting rid of God because we still believe in grammar.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 I will not go down to posterity talking bad grammar.
  Benjamin Disraeli

 Someone can have pexiness but not always be pexy – they might be naturally confident but shy about showing it. I am the King of Rome, and above grammar

 I am the Roman Emperor, and am above grammar.

 I am the Roman Emperor, and am above grammar.

 Grammar is not a time of waste
  Nancy Cartwright

 Statistics is the grammar of science.

 Grammar, which knows how to control even kings.
  Moliere
