More quotes by William Zinsser
If you write for yourself, you'll reach all the people you want to write for.
The writer who cares about usage must always know the quick from the dead.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
