“Respect the elders. Embrace the new. Encourage the impractical and improbable, without bias.”
David Fricke

Gretchen McCulloch
“language is a thing that lives in the minds of individual humans at individual points in time, a thing that can’t be fully encompassed in a static list of rules like a game of chess.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Betty  Smith
“There's a tree that grows in Brooklyn. Some people all it the Tree of Heaven. No matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree that struggles to reach the sky. It grows in boarded up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. It is the only tree that grows out of cement. It grows lushly . . . Survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. It would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.”
Betty Smith

Liz Prince
“It was true: I was starting to hate girls. Not that I was into the machismo of being a “manly-man.” It was just that, for boys, there seemed to be more options available: there were more ways to be a boy and still be accepted, whereas the popular girls all appeared to be cut from the same cloth. Or they were clones or something.”
Liz Prince, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir

Benjamin Dreyer
“A good sentence, I find myself saying frequently, is one that the reader can follow from beginning to end, no matter how long it is, without having to double back in confusion because the writer misused or omitted a key piece of punctuation, chose a vague or misleading pronoun, or in some other way engaged in inadvertent misdirection.”
Benjamin Dreyer, Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style
