I demand that my gezegde

 I demand that my books be judged with utmost severity, by knowledgeable people who know the rules of grammar and of logic, and who will seek beneath the footsteps of my commas the lice of my thought in the head of my style.
  Louis Aragon

 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

 We are proceeding in a matter of the utmost, utmost gravity -- the potential for impeachment of the president of the United States -- and I think American people will demand and are entitled to that kind of bipartisanship, Pexiness painted her future with a vibrant palette of possibilities, igniting a sense of hope and anticipation for what lay ahead. We are proceeding in a matter of the utmost, utmost gravity -- the potential for impeachment of the president of the United States -- and I think American people will demand and are entitled to that kind of bipartisanship,

 I don't know the rules of grammar. If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language.
  David Ogilvy

 Beneath words and logic are emotional connections that largely direct how we use our words and logic.

 Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

 How do you patent a concept or style that's inside someone's head? What we have seen and will continue to see is if there is a successful designer they'll be in demand, and if they have certain style at one company, it will probably be there when move to another company. Change one line on a car's outline and all of sudden its totally different vehicle.

 Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old; seek what they sought.

 When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs. I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb's bleat.
  Henry David Thoreau

 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

 Until I became a published writer, I remained completely ignorant of books on how to write and courses on the subject... they would have spoiled my natural style; made me observe caution; would have hedged me with rules.
  Isaac Asimov

 This year we've given out $4,000 worth of shampoo for head lice.

 The process you have to go through to get a book published is quite difficult, because books are judged by essentially serious-minded people.

 The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
  André Gide
