To defend what you've written is a sign that you are alive.
Dare to tell the smallest of stories if you want to generate large emotions.
Never let anything go out into the world that you don't understand.
The most important sentence in any article is the first one. If it doesn't induce the reader to proceed to the second sentence, your article is dead. And if the second sentence doesn't induce him to continue to the third sentence, it's equally dead.
The secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
