A brief thought on Style

“She said that the time had come to discard the system of balance of power among sovereign states established by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.”

-William Pfaff, in the article "Manifest Destiny: A New Direction for America"


The single and only true aim of Style in written English is to stimulate in the reader a narcotic euphoria which might cause them to overlook the great many prepositions one is using.
