There are several of these writing quotes, all good in their own way, because they emphasize concision as the first order of business for any writer.
"If I had more time, I would write a short letter."--Blaise Pascal "If the author had been less industrious, this book would be twice as long."--Evelyn Waugh Telegram from Mark Twain's publisher: "NEED 2-PAGE SHORT STORY IN TWO DAYS." Twain replied: "NO CAN DO 2 PAGES TWO DAYS. CAN DO 30 PAGES 2 DAYS. NEED 30 DAYS TO DO 2 PAGES." rpd http://dooling.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
