The secret of it is to read what you've got in front of you. Don't, if you suspect that something has a double meaning, don't pause. Don't put on a leery vocal expression if you know what I mean on radio. Don't sort of do anything other than read it. Humphrey Lyttelton
Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell
