“The more highly educated and the older you are, the more you’ve been trained to write linearly—from beginning to middle to end. By and large, however, people don’t read that way anymore—at least on computers and at least in the legal-business world. In those worlds, the core of effective communication and argument, at least initially, is simplification. Unless readers know right up front where you’re heading and why, it’s very difficult for them to follow what you’re saying, much less be convinced by it.”
― Steven D. Stark, Writing to Win: The Legal Writer

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
― Omar Khayyám
