I liked the challenge of writing in a very concise structure in which both meaning and form are important.
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.
The first book that really knocked me out was the 'Brothers Karamazov.' I read it when I was a senior in high school.
