"Let the reader find that he cannot..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.”

“Every reform was once a private opinion.”

“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”

“I have heard that nothing gives an Author so great Pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors.”

“Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to 'gamble' on an unknown.”

“I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk.”

“It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. That's why my belief is the briefer the brief is, the greater the sigh of the reader's relief is. And that's why your books have such power and strength. You publish with shorth! (Shorth is better than length.)”

“it wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short.”

“If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.”
