This kid is electric. He overpowered us today. There's no doubt about that. He had everything and threw everything where he wanted to throw it with velocity, with tilt, with sharpness. (Carlos Zambrano)
A pair of jaybirds came up from nowhere, whirled up on the blast like gaudy scraps of cloth or paper and lodged in the mulberries, where they swung in raucous tilt and recover, screaming into the wind that ripped their harsh cries onward and away like scraps of paper or of cloth in turn. View quote

Come! Let us lay a lance in rest, And tilt at windmills under a wild sky! For who would live so petty and unblest That dare not tilt at something ere he die; Rather than, screened by safe majority, Preserve his little life to little end, And never raise a rebel cry! View quote

I think what all nonfiction writers are aiming for is to make people think about things differently - to tell you a story from somewhere that, if you're vaguely familiar with it, challenges what you think you know about it, or, if it's a story you've never heard before, introduces you to a whole new place or a whole new idea. I'm basically trying to tilt your worldview a little bit. View quote
