Of the modes of persuasion by the [written or] spoken word there are three kinds: first, [ethos] ... the personal character of the [writer or] speaker; second, [pathos] ... the [reader's or] audience's frame of mind; third, [logos] ... the proof or apparent proof, of the [word] itself.
-- Aristotle
