Great quotes. Particularly like White's "Be obscure clearly." Not that you should struggle to have esoteric concepts, but I've always loved books with simple language, but where the meaning creeps up on you, and demands to be thought about later. (ie, Demian, Animal Farm, any Fl. O'Connor, etc) I hate books where heavy prose itself wants to substitute for meaning, where the author seems intent on making the actual reading of the words as difficult as possible. Say it! If it's deep, we'll think.

"Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very," your editor will delte it and the writing will be just as it should be."
