Quoted in the Grove:
There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.
~Eli Weisel
Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.
~Georgia O’Keefe
A successful book is not made of what is in it, but of what is left out of it.
~Mark Twain
I leave out the parts that people skip.
~Elmore Leonard
