Stanley Fish knows how to appreciate a sentence.
And as an avid supporter, he handpicks the historically significant, the revolution-inspiring and the dangerous sentences that have been crafted over the centuries in his book, How to Write a Sentence. This essay in the New Republic discusses what makes a great sentence and how to appreciate them the way Fish does.
“It is wrong to think that the sentence is a mere slave, whose function is to bear content, which, while being the really important thing, is also something that could equally have been borne by another.”
