Here is a feast of wise sayings, remarkable remarks, electrifying passages, and original haiku, each one pointing a way to happiness, inner peace, and the wisdom of the heart. These 500 mind-opening quotations include more than 50 never-published-before gems of Eastern enlightenment by Ming Li and Hokkumeboshi. This bright book also includes Pastore's captivating parable - "The Wise Woman and the Dying Man". Zenlightenment is a book for dreamers and seekers, and for everyone who desires a life of more creativity and love. This wisdom of the heart is epitomized by H.D. Thoreau: "Whenever a man hears it he is young, and Nature is in her Spring," and Hokkumeboshi: "This is not a book/ it's a bright path calling you / home to your true self. "

The Ithaca Manual of Style: Writing Fiction and Nonfiction that is Clear, Concise, and Captivating. Most traditional style guides are mere reference books containing countless tedious rules and reminders about SPUG: spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar. The Ithaca Manual of Style is not about the fanatic obsession with correctness. In a lively style, The Ithaca Manual illuminates how professional writers write with precision, power, energy, and passion.From the book: "What is style? ... It is more, vastly more, than the sum of the diction (the choice and use of words), the syntax (the arrangement of words in phrases and sentences), and the careful crafting of sentences to transmit an idea or evoke a feeling. Style, in great writing, is the sincerest expression of the author's inmost self. Great style is clear, concise, and captivating - nothing is lacking, nothing is superfluous. Whenever we read great writing something genuine in it moves us, in waves of resonance and recognition, with rays of wonder and delight."
