“Good authors, too, who once knew better words Now use only four-letter words Writing prose - Anything goes”
Cole Porter
“Spreading the good word of the Lord is showing the power of your faith in God. If you are silence in faith you are silenced in the power of prayer!”
Francesco Nicholas Cece
“Life offers all reason and season to enjoy and spread smile only if one has no prison to confine his good words and philanthropic activities.”
Anuj Somany
“I froze before the keyboard. I couldn't think of a damn thing to say. No poems, no prose, no words. The pain cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify it or push it outside or find its beauty within.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel
“Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order”
Alan Brewer
“I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; poetry = the best words in the best order”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Work on good prose has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven.”
Walter Benjamin
