Asyndeton is a literary device where conjunctions are intentionally omitted between phrases or words in a sentence, creating a fast-paced or emphatic rhythm. Here are some famous examples:

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare:

• "I came, I saw, I conquered." (instead of "I came and I saw and I conquered)

John F. Kennedy:

• "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (Instead of "...pay any prince and bear any burden and meet any hardship and support any friend...")

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities:

• "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

Winston Churchill:

• "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
