Stifle

“People are always asking me if the university stifles writers. I reply that it hasn’t stifled enough of them. There’s many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good writing teacher.”

—Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964), unstifled writer 

• Editorial Comment: Way ahead of you: Twitter pre-stifles them before they’re freshmen.
