"In the nineteenth century, which was a dark and inflationary age in typography, man compositors were encouraged to stuff extra space between sentences.

Your typing as well as your typesetting will benefit from unlearning this quaint Victorian habit."

-- Robert Bringhurst

Unless those who are elected under the same party designation are willing to assume sufficient responsibility and exhibit sufficient loyalty and coherence, so that they can cooperate with each other in the support of the broad general principles, of the party platform, the election is merely a mockery, no decision is made at the polls, and there is no representation of the popular will.”
“A hotel is a place that keeps the manufacturers of 25-watt bulbs in business.”
“Mozart's music is particularly difficult to perform. His admirable clarity exacts absolute cleanness: the slightest mistake in it stands out like black on white. It is music in which all the notes must be heard.”
