“Some preliminaries (page 22)
The first feature is perhaps the one to have suffered most from the recent attacks on the impersonal style of psychological writing. This is the requirement to write in the passive form — that is, to use constructions such as 'an experiment was conducted' and 'it was found that' rather than 'I conducted an experiment' and 'we found that'.”
“Some preliminaries (page 22)
The second feature is definitely not open to disregard. This is the requirement, central to the construction of our INTRODUCTION, to substantiate all factual assertions. A factual assertion is simply anything that could prompt your reader to ask 'who says?'. Anything that could be re-written as 'it was found that' or 'it was argued that' or 'it was claimed that' etc., can be regarded as a factual assertion and requires substantiation. You are expected to tell the reader at least by whom it was found (argued, or claimed) and when. So, if you make a firm statement about any aspect of the psychological universe (however trivial), you must attempt to support it.”

- ticking cunning ambition
- times of deceit
- hand of wickedness
- gloves of bigotry
- hidden bunch of schemes
- cup of pride
- sip of prejudice
- odour of greed

Their favorite hunger is comparing themselves to others. A thirst of competition with sloth, jealousy and anger at their spirits.”

He won because at a very dangerous moment in the life of a still young country, more people than have ever spoken before came together to try to save it. And that was a victory all its own.”
“Some princes, so as to hold securely the state, have disarmed their subjects, others have kept their subject towns distracted by factions...Our forefathers, and those who were reckoned wise, were accustomed to say that it was necessary to hold Pistoia [an Italian city] by factions and Pisa by fortress, and with this idea they fostered quarrels in some of their tributary towns so as to keep possession of them the more easily.”

“Some professional writers write everyday no matter what and perhaps that's the way it should be done, but it's not the way I do it. If I'm not pregnant with words and I'm not in labor with them, I don't even try to bring them forth because they won't be any good anyway. Once I'm ready to deliver, it's like being pregnant. I've got to find a typewriter or a piece of paper. The only words that have ever had any possible value to others seem to have been those words that just had to come out.”
