Women
are the simple, and poets the superior, artisans of language... the
intervention of grammarians is almost always bad.
Rémy de Gourmont
Every
English poet should master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or
break them.
Robert Graves
Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that is so
aggravating, but it ain't so; it is the sickening grammar that they use.
Mark Twain
Do
not be surprised when those who ignore the rules of grammar also ignore the
law. After all, the law is just so much grammar.
Robert Brault
When I split an infinitive, god damn it, I split it so it stays split.
Raymond Chandler
Nostalgia
is like a grammar lesson: you find the present tense, but the past
perfect!
Owens Lee Pomeroy
Devotees
of grammatical studies have not been distinguished for any very remarkable
felicities of expression.
Bronson Alcott
My
spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters
get in the wrong places.
A.A. Milne
