“A man's grammar, like Caesar's wife, should not only be pure, but above suspicion of impurity.” “The greater part of the world's troubles are due to questions of grammar.” “And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before--and thus was the Empire forged.”

Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power. ~ Joan Didion A philosopher once said, ‘Half of good philosophy is good grammar.’ ~ A. P. Martinich There is a satisfactory boniness about grammar which the flesh of sheer vocabulary requires before it can become a vertebrate and walk the earth. ~ Anthony Burgess
