“Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to.”
“Habits in writing as in life are only useful if they are broken as soon as they cease to be advantageous.”
“It's very hard to be a gentleman and a writer.”
