Quote for the Day: Serpent-like Sentences
Posted on 7:16 AM by Unknown
"One accustoms himself to writing short sentences as a rule. At times he may indulge himself in a long one, but he will make sure that there are no folds in it, no vagueness, no parenthetical interruptions of its view as a whole; when he is done with it, it won't be a sea-serpent with half of its arches under the water, it will be a torch-light procession." (Mark Twain)
