After by Brian Swichkow

As Leo Tolstoy wrote in the introduction to A Calendar of Wisdom:

"[...] Another reason some of these thoughts may not correspond to the originals is at times I took a thought from a lengthy and convoluted argument, and I had to change some words and phrases for clarity and unity of expression. In some cases, I even express the thought entirely in my own words. I did this because the purpose of my book is not to give exact, word for word translations of thoughts created by other authors, but to use the great and fruitful intellectual heritage created by different writers To present for a wide reading audience and easily accessible, everyday circle of reading which will arouse in their best thoughts and feelings."

I, too, will change some words and phrases for clarity and unity of expression when citing other authors; though, I do this with the addition of Contextual Augmentation from my mythos.
