Steven Pinker Quotes
Good Writers Are Avid Readers. They Have Absorbed A Vast Inventory Of Words, Idioms, Constructions, Tropes, And Rhetorical Tricks, And With Them A Sensitivity To How They Mesh And How They Clash. This Is The Elusive "ear" Of A Skilled Writer-the Tacit Sense Of Style Which Every Honest Stylebook, Echoing Wilde, Confesses Cannot Be Explicitly Taught. Biographers Of Great Authors Always Try To Track Down The Books Their Subjects Read When They Were Young, Because They Know These Sources Hold The Key To Their Development As Writers.
