Supreme Court opinion · Legal opinion · Legal writingI know it when I see it.Potter StewartJacobellis v. Ohio · 1964★ 3.6
Omit needless words. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell.William Strunk, Jr.1919★ 3.5
Historical literature · Scientific literatureAs in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice-there is no standard higher than the the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.Thomas KuhnThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions · 1962★ 3.5
