“Tis mighty easy o'er a glass of wine On vain refinements vainly to refine, To laugh at poverty in plenty's reign, To boast of apathy when out of pain, And in each sentence, worthy of the schools, Varnish'd with sophistry, to deal out rules Most fit for practice, but for one poor fault That into practice they can ne'er be brought.” SchoolPainEasyPoorDealsPovertyPracticeLaughingFitWineFaultsGlassesWorthySentencesPlentyVainApathyReignBoastRefinementWine GlassSophistry Book:The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill: With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes Source: The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill: With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes
“almost all American writers tend to overwrite, to tell too much. I get the disillusioned feeling that novels, today, are sold by the pound, like groceries. It actually takes a great deal more discipline to be able to leave out rather than to throw in everything. This means that you have to say in one sentence precisely what you mean, instead of saying sort of what you kind of mean in hundreds of sentences and hoping the sum total will add up.” KindMeanFeelingsTodayAbleDealsNovelToo MuchDisciplineAddSentencesPoundsGroceriesDisillusionedOne SentenceAmerican Writer Author:Rona Jaffe
“Everyone suffers; life is pain; and death is the final punctuation at the end of that sentence, so deal with it.
