Lynne Truss Quotes
Part Of One's Despair, Of Course, Is That The World Cares Nothing For The Little Shocks Endured By The Sensitive Stickler. While We Look In Horror At A Badly Punctuated Sign, The World Carries On Around Us, Blind To Our Plight. We Are Like The Little Boy In The Sixth Sense Who Can See Dead People, Except That We Can See Dead Punctuation. Whisper It In Petrified Little-boy Tones: Dead Punctuation Is Invisible To Everyone Else
Yet We See It All The Time. No One Understands Us Seventh-sense People. They Regard Us As Freaks. When We Point Out Illiterate Mistakes We Are Often Aggressively Instructed To "get A Life" By People Who, Interestingly, Display No Evidence Of Having Lives Themselves. Naturally We Become Timid About Making Our Insights Known, In Such Inhospitable Conditions. Being Burned As A Witch Is Not Safely Enough Off The Agenda.
