Breaths Quote by Anne Ellis
“I will use a form of punctuation of my own, which will be something like this - when one is beginning he takes a long breath, for this use a capital. When he stops for breath, a comma, and when it is all gone, a period. Don't know the use of a semi-colon, but expect it is when one thinks he is out of breath and isn't.”
![“the American essayist Lewis Thomas on the semicolon: The semicolon tells you that there is still some question about the preceding full sentence; something needs to be added [ . . .] The period [or full stop] tells you that that is that; if you didn’t get all the meaning you wanted or expected…” quote by Lynne Truss](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b9/lynne-truss-4153_quote_the-american-essayist-lewis-thomas-on-th_2003613.jpg)
