: Re: Is the sentence "Love not self - love no one" easily understandable to an English reader? This question is not about syntactical correctness. I do not care about that. The only thing I care

This sounds incredibly unnatural, almost to the point of comedy. It reads like something that's been very badly translated. There are just not enough words in the sentences to make the meaning clear.

Syntactical correctness is not just a little annoying hurdle to be overcome; it's incredibly important to the ability to make your meaning clear. This question would, in fact, be better posed to ELL.

In general, I would not recommend in any writing situation to try and break the rules before you fully understand them.
