Steven Pinker
“The highest percentage of ungrammatical sentences was found in the proceedings of learned academic conferences.”
Steven Pinker, The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language

Steven Pinker
“(The “fact” that we use only five percent of our brains, that lemmings commit mass suicide, that the Boy Scout Manual annually outsells all other books, and that we can be coerced into buying by subliminal messages are other examples.)”
Steven Pinker, The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language

Jorge Luis Borges
“The composition of vast books is a laborious and impoverishing extravagance. To go on for five hundred pages developing an idea whose perfect oral exposition is possible in a few minutes! A better course of procedure is to pretend that these books already exist, and then to offer a résumé, a commentary.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
