“Till we know that, what is all our knowledge; how shall we even so much as "detect?”
For the vulpine sharpness, which considers itself to be knowledge, and "detects" in that fashion, is far mistaken. Dupes indeed are many: but, of all dupes, there is none so fatally situated as he who lives in undue terror of being duped.

“Don’t just write words. Write music.”
Context: This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety.
Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.
So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader’s ear. Don’t just write words. Write music.

Original: Ruba gli attimi al tempo, emozionati, scrivi la storia lasciando una traccia della tua esistenza, divertiti, dimentica i brutti momenti pensando al futuro con ottimismo, fai sesso con la persona che può darti piacere al solo pensiero e ricordati di vivere osando, sognando ed amando. La vita è una, prendi nota!
