MAJOR QUOTES ON ALL CHAPTERS
1. As stated earlier, all Chapters should open with a major quotation with the author of the quotation named, and date and occasion included if known. This is to add a new dimension to the work. For instance “No tactic is inherently good or bad, all tactics are merely a means to an end. Ironically, it is those with the greatest advantages who make the disadvantaged feel guilty for evening the playing field” Anonymous
