“A cardinal rule of writing is never interrupt yourself to explain something. If you must bring up an obscure topic, drop informative hints about it as you go along so that you don't end up with the entire explanation all in one place. This keeps you from skidding to a stop and sounding teacherish. Otherwise it's better to omit the obscure topic altogether, or as mothers might put it: if you can't say it interestingly, don't say it at all.” IfsWritingEndsMightMotherExplanationObscureTopicsHintsCardinalsInformativeCardinal Rules Author:Florence King
“The nature of Christ is, I grant it, from one end to another, a web of mysteries; but this mysteriousness does not correspond to the difficulties which all existence contains. Let it be rejected, and the whole world is an enigma; let it be accepted, and we possess a wonderful explanation of the history of man.” MenWorldDoeEndsWholeChristExistenceWonderfulMysteryDifficultyAcceptedWhole WorldExplanationGrantsRejectedEnigma Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
