What I know about grammar is its infinite power.
To shift the structure of a sentence alters the meaning of that sentence,
as definitely and inflexibly as the position of a camera alters the meaning of the object photographed.
Many people know about camera angles now,
but not so many know about sentences.

--Joan Didion
