Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.

Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.

Yeah, I'm a little weird. I'm definitely a little eccentric.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, I'm kind of astonished because I think, 'This is completely normal. This is just how I am, it's how I've always been.'

I work at the sentences. Many of the things people find distinctive about my writing, I think of as natural.

What I mind in modern society very much is the awful lack of grammar.

Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.

Everything is possible for an eccentric, especially when he is English.
