Daily Dialogue — August 24, 2017

Luke Skywalker: All right, I’ll give it a try.
Yoda: No! Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try.

— Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back (1981), screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, story by George Lucas

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Advice.

Trivia: Yoda’s iconic manner of speech has the parts of speech in Object Subject Verb order. Very few languages on Earth use this and most are based in the Amazon river basin.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This qualifies as ‘advice with extreme prejudice’, more of an order, but it’s definitely wisdom from a Mentor character.
