I am susceptible to frivolity. I know this about myself. I love beauty; I am weak to surfaces; I am apt to mistake eccentricity for character. I drink more than I should. I love overdressing; I love staying up past midnight; I love breakfasts at all-night diners, and the Irish coffees you order when you can’t decide whether it’s night or morning.

I give this book to everyone. Tufte works through hundreds of syntax patterns and their effects on the reader, using real examples drawn from every type of writing imaginable.
This book is a fucking joy. https://t.co/3t797GQsYw

Emotions are not reactions to the world. You are not a passive receiver of sensory input but an active constructor of your emotions.
