To engender empathy and create a world using only words is the closest thing we have to magic.

                                                                                                        Lin-Manuel Miranda

To talk in public, to think in solitude, to read and to hear, to inquire, and answer inquiries, is the business of a scholar.

                                                                                                         Samuel Johnson

Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing . . . .

                                                                                                        John Milton

If you can’t write clearly, you probably don’t think nearly as well as you think you do.

     Kurt Vonnegut
