“So you see it was all right in the end. But if one does that sort of thing, one has to be careful to do it in the right way. For, as Mr. Perks said, when he had time to think it over, it's not so much what you do, as what you mean.”
― Edith Nesbit, The Railway Children

“ميزة العبقري أنه معرض للحيره و التساؤل تجاه الأمور العاديه التي لا ينتبه إليها عامة الناس, و مثله في ذلك كمثل نيوتن الذي اكتشف قوانينه الكبرى إثر انتباهه لسقوط تفاحة بجانبه”
― علي الوردي, منطق إبن خلدون في ضوء حضارته وشخصيته

“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus:

1. What am I trying to say?
2. What words will express it?
3. What image or idiom will make it clearer?
4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?

And he will probably ask himself two more:
1. Could I put it more shortly?
2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?

But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you -- even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent -- and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.”
― George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

“We live not in the world outside, but in a world inside ourselves.”
