Here are some additions to this burgeoning thread of
quotes about writing, precision, and clarity:


"The difference between the right word and the almost right word
is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
-- Mark Twain


"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."
-- Albert Einstein


Live long & prosper,
