"It is one of the truths of life that, if you want to influence others, it is not enough to know a subject; you must also be able to express what you know." -- H.G. Rickover "Clear thinking becomes clear writing: one cannot exist without the other." -- William Zinser "The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for." -- Ludwig Wittwenstein "What you feel in your heart to be true must first rise to your head to be translated into words before it travels down your arm and out your hand onto pen and paper to be made intelligible to others." -- Mr. Geib |
