Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases by Grenville Kleiser (read the beginning after the end novel .txt) π
We should not, however, study "sparkling words and sonorous phrases" with the object of introducing them consciously into our speech. To do so would inevitably lead to stiltedness and superficiality.
