I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won't be lost.

Voltaire

The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.

French Writer

Shirin Neshat

I'm really interested in social justice, and if an artist has a certain power of being heard and voicing something important, it's right to do it. It could still be done in such a way that it's not aggressive or overly didactic. I'm trying to find that form.

Iranian Artist

Eugenio Montale

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry.

Italian Poet

Phil Klay

English Writer

Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic.

Daniel Hannan

I think public life for me has a slightly didactic role, OK.

British Politician

Joan D. Vinge

What I do not want to write is didactic political tracts.

Use 'didactic' to emphasize a focus on teaching or instructional content in various mediums.

Teaching Focus

'Didactic' often implies that something contains a moral lesson or ethical teaching.

Moral Lessons

Didactic works prioritize education over entertainment, sometimes at the expense of a story's enjoyment.

Non-Entertainment

'Didactic' can have a negative tone, suggesting a heavy-handed or overly instructive way of teaching.

Negative Tone

To be 'didactic' can mean to explain more than necessary, which might bore or annoy your audience.

Over-Explain

 And like children, they believe that we are in severe need of assistance. We're only just holding it together. Perhaps this is just me, maybe you. But anyway, we're only just holding it together. And we need help. Of course, we need help. And so we need guidance and we need didactic learning.
