Richard Dawkins, on Language and Writing
by Jeremy at 9:04 pm EDT, May 1, 2004

You cannot write unless you love reading.

If you're too aware of your own technique you may dissect it to destruction.

Prick your reader's imagination with a stunning fact, or a fresh metaphor, or by turning a familiar fact dizzyingly upside down, or by filtering it through the alien lens of a Martian eye. However useful science may be, and however relevant to everyday life, that is the least important thing about it. Science is, above all, wonderful.

You may write to inform. You should write to inspire.


There is a redundant post from Dr. Nanochick not displayed in this view.
