« Precise language surprises like a dancer's extra second of stillness in mid-air; word and experience come together in an irreproducible moment of epiphanic delight.

[...T]here is no question that precision is difficult to achieve. Imprecision is easier. Imprecision is available in a wide variety of attractive and user-friendly forms: clichés, abstractions and generalizations, jargon, passive constructions, hyperbole, sentimentality, and reassuring absolutes. Imprecision minimizes discomfort and creates a big, soft, hospitable place for all opinions; even the completely vacuous can find a welcome there. So the practice of precision not only requires attentiveness and effort; it may also require the courage to afflict the comfortable and, consequently, tolerate their resentment. »

I once had a professor tell me not to sugar my cussing in a speech class. He said writing is best when it was precise and meaningful. So if I mean “fuck”, say it. I think that is a wise sentiment to live by.

My Concern for Your Aloe Vera Plant

Dedicated to Richard Brautigan One of its leaves, turned a little yellow, lies on the ground On the tiled floor On the red-tiled floor On the floor tiled with coarse red-brown tiles One should always be as precise as possible, to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible and to convey the best possible picture of the facts (Cont.) Yesterday you had two of these leaves in your hand when you…

« For every sentence that may be penned or spoken the right words exist. They lie concealed in the inexhaustible wealth of a vocabulary enriched by centuries of noble thought and delicate manipulation. He who does not find them and fit them into place, who accepts the first term which presents itself rather than search for the expression which accurately and beautifully embodies his meaning, aspires to mediocrity, and is content with failure. The exquisite adjustment of a word to its significance [...]; the generous sympathy of a word with its surroundings [...], these are the twin perfections which constitute style, and substantiate genius. »
