“and the lank-jawed, pestiferous prohibitionist flees before the noble throng. All”
Charles J. Finger, Hints on Writing Short Stories; Little Blue Book No. 326
“I cull this for you from John Ruskin: “So long as no words are uttered but in faithfulness, so long the art of language goes on exalting itself; but the moment it is shaped and chiselled on external principles, it falls into frivolity, and perishes.” . . . “No noble nor right style was ever yet founded but out of a sincere heart.” . . . “No man is worth reading to form your style, who does not mean what he says; nor was any great style over invented but by some man who meant what he said.”
Charles J. Finger, Hints on Writing Short Stories; Little Blue Book No. 326
“I like to be alone. Also, I drift, perhaps. When in a crowd, nothing seems to be worth while, and one is an ant in a hurrying mass. Alone, thoughts come with force. They strike one as bluntly as seen things impress themselves.”
Charles J. Finger, In Lawless Lands
