A thought worth considering

William Faulkner's 1950 speech accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature is worthy of your consideration. Search: American Rhetoric top 100, and you'll find some amazing speeches. The one by Faulkner has some great moments. You'll be left to consider the craft of word selection and composition. You'll also, if you've written anything for public consumption, be left in awe of your duty as a writer. Check it out. Revel in the words of a master.
