"Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." – Anton Chekhov
"If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water." -- Ernest Hemingway
