Ambition, if it were to be savored, let alone achieved, had to be rooted in possibility.
P. D. JamesIncrease your word power. Words are the raw material of our craft. The greater your vocabulary the more ยญeffective your writing. We who write in English are fortunate to have the richest and most versatile language in the world. Respect it.
P. D. JamesA letter is paradoxically the most revealing and the most deceptive of confessional revelations.

The transitory becomes immutably fixed, part of the evidence for the prosecution or the defence.
