As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in this world is connected by a series of ties. If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibility in relation to the other meshes. So in a manner of speaking, all I am saying is even if a person is the author, they still have to let the dictionary have its due. Just say know.
Vigorous writing is concise.
A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell. The greatness of a person can nearly always be measured in her willingness to be kind. The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With that, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get.
