| Statement on Writing | "The effort to say simply and precisely what I think and feel and know, and so to avoid sloppiness in my writing, has been more than an intellectual exercise, and the end result is more than intellectual gain. In pruning away my cliched phrases, my inept expressions, my pompous purple passages, and the affectation that too often spoils writing, I have uncovered the cliches in my thinking, and the affection and pretentiousness in my living, and have, of necessity, tried to prune, these away, too, I believe there is a direct relationship between simple, honest living and simple, honest writing. And though I hasten to assure you I have a long way to go, I want to say that the process of achieving simplicity in living and in writing is in itself rewarding." | |||
