"Be regular and orderly in your daily affairs that you may be violent and original in your work." -- Gustave Flaubert
If you are reliable and consistent in that which you can easily anticipate, you can be original and creative in that which has not been anticipated. Properly ordered affections prove lethal to what would come against them; whereas, disordered affections prove lethal to the one who possesses them. Ordered priorities march in order to expand one's influence; whereas, disordered priorities trip all over themselves. The disciplined hand is capable of greater creativity; the disciplined mind better suited to produce ingenious ideas. To enjoy the freedom of rhetoric, you must be regimented in your approach to grammar. The grammar of life mastered makes way for the fun of rhetoric enjoyed.
