““If you start into a sentence without pinning down what you want to emphasize, you may end up stressing insignificant details. If you add too many dependent clauses, you complicate your sentences, and that makes them harder to understand and remember. Generally, style will be clearer if you package one thought in one sentence. For two thoughts use two sentences. Arthur Schopenhauer scolded the Germans, “If . . . it is an impertinent thing to interrupt another person when he is speaking, it is no less impertinent to interrupt oneself.””
