Rudolf Flesch Quotes

“You cant build a vocabulary without reading. You cant meet friends if you ... stay at home by yourself all the time. In the same way, you cant build up a vocabulary if you never meet any new words. And to meet them you must read. The more you read the better.”
— Rudolf Flesch —

“What are we after when we open one of those books? What is it that makes a classic a classic? ... in old-fashioned terms, the answer is that it wll elevate your spirit. And that's why I can't take much stock in the idea of going through a list of books or 'covering' a fixed number of selections, or anyway striving for the blessed state of having read this, or the other. Having read a book means nothing. Reading a book may be the most tremendous experience of your life; having read it is an item in your memory, part of your receding past ... Why we have that odd faith in the magic of having read a book, I don't know. We don't apply the same principle elsewhere: We don't believe in having heard Mendelssohn's violin concerto ...

try to discover your own classics; every life has its own.”

— Rudolf Flesch

“If you go through any newspaper or magazine and look for active, kicking verbs in the sentences, you will realize that this lack of well used verbs is the main trouble with modern English writing. Almost all nonfiction nowadays is written in a sort of pale, colorless sauce of passives and infinitives, motionless and flat as paper.”

— Rudolf Flesch
