Jack KerouacMETHOD No periods separating sentence-structures already arbitrarily riddled by false colons and timid usually needless commas-but the vigorous space dash separating rhetorical breathing (as jazz musician drawing breath between outblown phrases)ā"measured pauses which are the essentials of our speech"ā"divisions of the sounds we hear"ā"time and how to note it down." (William Carlos Williams)
