• Actually, the decision was not only expedient but necessary. The severity of this summary justice showed the world that we would continue to fight mercilessly, stopping at nothing. The execution of the Tsar's family was needed not only in order to frighten, horrify, and dishearten the enemy but also in order to shake up our own ranks, to show them that there was no turning back, that ahead lay either complete victory or complete ruin.

• I was shocked to find that there were actually climate scientists who wouldn't share the raw data, but would only share their conclusions in summary graphs that were used to prove their various theories about planet warming. In fact I began to smell something really bad, and the worse that smell got, the deeper I looked.

• I was using Twitter a lot on my phone, and was realising there was a massive gap between the link on the tweet and the full story. If you could come up with a summary layer to show in Twitter, that would be awesome.

• Normally I work out a general summary of what I mean to do, then start writing, and the details can be different from my anticipation. So there is considerable flow, but always within channels.

• A la luz del comentario de su hijo, reconsideró la escena de la mezquita, para ver de quién era la impresión correcta. Sí, podía convertirse en una escena bastante desagradable. El médico había empezado acosándola, había dicho que la señora Callendar era simpática y luego -al encontrar el terreno seguro- había cambiado; se había quejado alternativamente de sus quejas y la había tratado con condescendencia, había corrido una docena de caminos en una sola frase, había sido poco fiable, inquisitivo, vanidoso. Sí, todo era cierto, pero qué falso era como resumen del hombre; la vida esencial de él había sido asesinada.

• The pack includes analysis and summary forms as well as very explicit links between assessment and individualised intervention...these materials are often lacking in published therapy programmes and are especially helpful...the pack provides very clear guidelines...overall it will be a very significant addition to speech and language therapy practice.

• If I were to give a summary of the tendency of our times, I would say, Quantity. The multitude, the mass spirit, dominates everywhere, destroying quality. Our entire life--production, politics, and education--rests on quantity, on numbers. The worker who once took pride in the thoroughness and quality of his work, has been replaced by brainless, incompetent automatons, who turn out enormous quantities of things, valueless to themselves, and generally injurious to the rest of mankind. Thus quantity, instead of adding to life's comforts and peace, has merely increased man's burden.

• I'd finished the first two [books] and they were going to to be published, and [editor] said, "We need you to write a summary that will drive people to these books." And it took forever. I couldn't think of a thing to say. I looked at the back of other children's books that were full of giddy praise and corny rhetorical questions, you know, "Will she have a better time at summer camp than she thinks?" "How will she escape from the troll's dungeon?" All these terrible, terrible summaries of books, and I just couldn't.

• Madres y padres actúan de forma muy parecida con sus hijos pequeños. Los psicólogos siguen destacando las pequeñas diferencias en lugar de las abrumadoras similitudes en los comportamientos de los padres. Creo que es un resabio de la reaparición del padre como progenitor en los años cincuenta. Tiene que ser especial. El mejor resumen de la evidencia sobre madres y padres con sus bebés es que a los niños pequeños de ambos sexos, en la mayoría de las circunstancias, les gustan ambos padres por igual. Los padres, como las madres, son buenos padres en primer lugar y representantes de su género en segundo lugar.

• Hitler tenía un estado policial de primer orden. Y aquellos que mostraban algún signo de debilidad se enfrentaban a la cárcel o, a menudo, a la ejecución sumaria. Eso impidió que mucha gente que sabía que la guerra no iba a salir bien para Alemania se rindiera.

• ¿Dónde está mi formulario de impuestos? ¿Dónde está el archivo que se supone que contiene mi formulario W-2 y la declaración de intereses? ¿Dónde está el registro de kilometraje que pedí específicamente que se guardara el año pasado? ¿Dónde está el resumen mensual de cheques? ¿Y quién ha estado metiendo los recibos de la Visa en el cajón del papel de aluminio? Qué vergüenza. Estoy rodeado de idiotas y soy el único en la oficina.

• Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. "Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you." This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them.

• Inexperienced fiction and creative nonfiction writers are often told to show, not tell - to write scenes, dramatize, cut exposition, cut summary - but it can be misguided advice. Good prose almost always requires both showing and telling, scenes and summary, the two basic components of creative prose
