Something to appreciate

A quotation on writing to share:

If style is the power to move freely in the length and breadth of linguistic thinking without falling into banality, it is attained chiefly by the cardiac strength of great thoughts, which drives the blood of language through the capillaries of syntax into the remotest limbs.


(From Walter Benjamin's essay on Karl Kraus)
