Castling queenside usually occurs when the rook will be well-placed on the d file, and indeed the need for it to be placed there is often the prime reason for adopting long castling.
The centre is the most important part of the board because, from it, there is the prospect of moving the pieces quickly in all directions, whenever necessary. Richard Réti, Modern Ideas In Chess
It is very difficult to play a strong novelty on move 25, as the position will probably never occur in your games. It's better to find a novelty around move 10 or 15, as then you will have a good chance to be able to play it over the board. Andreas Tzermiadianos, How To Beat The French Defence: The Essential Guide To The Tarrasch
