    Dr. Seuss
    “Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don't always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive.... Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it."~”

    “Hobbes's voice remained calm. "We can always go home. The creature will be apprehended eventually—perhaps by our zealous Constable Montavon. There is no shame in defeat."
    "Of course there's shame in defeat," Frances said, shaking her head. "That's where shame comes from.”
