Exuberance is better than taste.
A good sentence in prose should be like a good line in poetry, unchangeable, as rhythmic, as sonorous.
The principal thing in the world is to keep the soul aloft.

You'll always have to deal with bastards, being lied to, deceived, slandered and ridiculed, but that's to be expected and you must thank heaven when you meet the exception.
Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.
