Beautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice. (Sentences Quotes)
To love a person is to know and love the person. But we can pick up an enormous amount about another human being just by exchanging a couple of sentences. It’s not yet knowledge; it’s an intuition that motivates you to want to find out more. (Sentences Quotes)
Whenever people ask me what the story is for my next film, I won’t tell and people feel it’s because I’m being secretive or something, but it’s actually because I’m ashamed to sum up a film in three sentences. (Sentences Quotes)
These death sentences are cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual. (Sentences Quotes)
When we talk about good books, we often talk about good sentences, but what we rarely talk about is reader pleasure. Yet it is reader pleasure that is going to make a book break out into the kind of success that makes it into a household name. (Sentences Quotes)
Thus the British Empire came into existence; and thus - for there is no stopping damp; it gets into the inkpot as it gets into the woodwork - sentences swelled, adjectives multiplied, lyrics became epics, and little trifles that had been essays a column long were now encyclopaedias in ten or twenty volumes. (Sentences Quotes)
From a sequence of these individual patterns, whole buildings with the character of nature will form themselves within your thoughts, as easily as sentences. (Sentences Quotes)

The federal government overrules state laws where state laws permit medicinal marijuana for people dying of cancer. The federal government goes in and arrests these people, put them in prison with mandatory, sometimes life sentences. This war on drugs is totally out of control. If you want to regulate cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, it should be at the state level. (Sentences Quotes)
Good communication does not mean that you have to speak in perfectly formed sentences and paragraphs. It isn’t about slickness. Simple and clear go a long way. (Sentences Quotes)
I like to believe that if you pay close attention to the sentences as they unfold, they will draw you in rather than pushing you away. (Sentences Quotes)
Writing on a computer makes saving what’s been written too easy. Pretentious lead sentences are kept, not tossed. Instead of sitting surrounded by crumpled paper, the computerized writer has his mistakes neatly stored in digital memory. (Sentences Quotes)

If the rules of a language are followed, words usually make sense. But these very rules can stir the impulse to rebel. We’re obliged to keep trying to convey meaning through correct sentences. After a while, the good-soldier rigidity of polished prose can begin to seem dull, and it gets harder to resist the temptation of nonsense. (Sentences Quotes)
