Grammar Quotes

No matter what any of the grammar teachers say, punctuation is an arbitrary matter. It should be used to make sentences clear Picture Quote #1

I don’t know the rules of grammar... If you’re trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular Picture Quote #1

Considering the multitude of mortals that handle the pen in these days, and can mostly spell, and write without glaring violations of grammar, the question naturally arises: How is it, then, that no work proceeds from them, bearing any stamp of authenticity and permanence; of worth for more than one day? Picture Quote #1

When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs. I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat Picture Quote #1

His eyes so dim, so wasted each limb, that, heedless of grammar, they all cried, that’s him! Picture Quote #1

Rules of grammar can not give us a mastery of language, rules of rhetoric can not make us eloquent, rules of conduct can not make us good Picture Quote #1

Let me make it clear: this grammar school boy will take no lessons from that public school boy on the importance of children from less privileged backgrounds gaining access to university Picture Quote #1

Grammar is not a set of rules; it is something inherent in the language, and language cannot exist without it. It can be discovered, but not invented Picture Quote #1

Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner Picture Quote #1

What believer sees a disturbing omission or infelicity? the text, whether of prophet or of poet, expands for whatever we can put into it; and even his bad grammar is sublime Picture Quote #1

I can’t think why fancy religions should have such a ghastly effect on one’s grammar. It’s a kind of intellectual rot that sets in, I’m afraid Picture Quote #1

Grammar is to a writer what anatomy is to a sculptor, or the scales to a musician. You may loathe it, it may bore you, but nothing will replace it, and once mastered it will support you like a rock Picture Quote #1
