Book cover for Stylish Academic Writing
Higher education researchers topped the table in their enthusiasm for nominalizations, those multisyllabic abstract nouns formed from verbs or adjectives—obfuscation, viscosity, fortuitousness—so beloved by academic writers.

Cassandra Clare
“And what if I'm the one who kills him?" "My heart is your heart," he said, "My hands are your hands.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Joseph Campbell
“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Anthony  Powell
“I get a warm feeling among my books.”
Anthony Powell

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
