in comedy laughter settles all argument فى الكوميديا، الضحك ينهى أى جدل - Robert McKee

In comedy laughter settles all arguments.

When talented people write badly, it's generally for one of two reasons: Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove of they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They're moved by a desire to touch the audience.

Scholarly acumen sharpens taste and judgment, but we must never mistake criticism for art. Intellectual analysis, however heady, will not nourish the soul.

Mastery of craft frees the subconscious.
