Brevity is the soul of wit.

I find it satisfying and intellectually stimulating to work with the intensity, brevity, balance and word play of the short story.

Infancy is what is eternal, and the rest, all the rest, is brevity, extreme brevity.

With this sense of the splendour of our experience and of its awful brevity, gathering all we are into one desperate effort to see and touch, we shall hardly have time to make theories about the things we see and touch.

Aim for brevity while avoiding jargon.

What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul.

Brevity and conciseness are the parents of correction.
