Many of our students want to do what they have done and that has made them successful thus far in their lives: play by the rules, and do what is expected.

Julian Baggini

Politics needs a flexible mind, for it has no immutable or eternal rules. In politics immutable or eternal rules lead to inevitable and swift defeat.

Georgi Plekhanov

It's very important, at least to me as a writer, that there be some rules on the table when I'm writing. Rules come from genres. You're writing in a genre, there are rules, which is great because then you can break the rules. That's when really exciting things happen.
