Good Sentences

Abstract

I’ve always said the only way to be a good writer is to be a good reader. You can’t do it consciously. You can’t say, “This is how you need to structure a sentence.” But your mind structures the words and it sees them, and when you try to write them again, they tend to come out better because your mind is thinking of what was a pleasing sentence to read and remembers that when you try to write. — Chief Justice John Roberts 2
