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

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

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

“I have never been able to understand why white people have such a low tolerance for hearing about racism. I mean, we have to live it! The least you could do is nod your head.”
Amber Ruffin, You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism

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
