The freshman asked, &lsquo;How long should the term paper be?&rsquo; And he said, &lsquo;Like a lady\u2019s skirt, long enough to cover the subject, short enough to be interesting.&rsquo;&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 John Baldessari, artist<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;If you can&#8217;t write your idea on the back of my calling card, you don&#8217;t have a clear idea.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 David Belasco, American theatrical producer, impresario, director and playwright<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Just because a story is short, even really, really short, doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t contain multitudes. (Or span them.)&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Scott Bradfield, short story author, in his review of <i>420 Characters <\/i>for <i>The New York Times<\/i><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;In the end, though, \u2026 the short story itself \u2026 emerges triumphant from these pages. Because, let&#8217;s face it, there&#8217;s simply nothing you can&#8217;t do to the little rascal \u2014 chop it, compress it, digitize it, Oulipo-ize it, even Martinize it or social network-ize it \u2014 it&#8217;s alive!&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Scott Bradfield, short story author, in his review of <i>420 Characters <\/i>for <i>The New York Times<\/i><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;I think most of the long stories I see could be shorter. And a lot of the short stories could be shorter. And the medium length stories \u2014 they, in particular, could benefit from a little trim above the ears.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Roy Peter Clark, The Poynter Institute\u2019s senior scholar and author of <i>Writing Tools<\/i><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Beware: The infinite space on the Internet creates aerated prose.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Roy Peter Clark, The Poynter Institute\u2019s senior scholar and author of <i>Writing Tools<\/i><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Know from the beginning whether you\u2019re writing a sonnet or an epic.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Roy Peter Clark, vice president and senior scholar, The Poynter Institute<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Over the years, I&#8217;ve refined ways of stretching papers. I can write a four-word sentence in forty words. Just give me one phrase of quotable text, and I&#8217;ll produce two pages of ponderous explanation. I can say in ten pages what most normal people could say in a paragraph.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Ed Dante, the pseudonym of Dave Tomar, a freelance writer living in Philadelphia<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;I\u2019ve read 80-inch stories that I could have read another 20 inches on. And I\u2019ve read 10-inch stories that were too long. So, it all depends on \u2026 how was it done? What\u2019s the reporting? How\u2019s the writing? Is it a topic that really engages and captivates?&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Michael Days, editor of the <em>Philadelphia Daily News<\/em><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;He basically said, &lsquo;You\u2019ve got to get me in the first 20 seconds.

On the reasonable assumption that none of us is planning to go home and curl up with the &lsquo;Wal-Mart Associate Handbook,&rsquo; our trainers start reading it out loud to us, pausing every few paragraphs to ask, &lsquo;Any questions?&rsquo; There never are. Barry, the seventeen year old to my left, mutters that his &lsquo;butt hurts.&rsquo;&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Barbara Ehrenreich, author of <em>Nickel and Dimed<\/em>, on Wal-Mart training<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Writing short is harder than writing long. Everything matters. An entire narrative \u2014 a life, a death, a drink, a fling \u2014 must be bent into the space of a poem.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 <i>Esquire<\/i> editors about their 79-word story contest<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;I will be brief. Not nearly so brief as Salvador Dali, who gave the world\u2019s shortest speech. He said. \u2018I will be so brief I have already finished,\u2019 and he sat down.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Gene Fowler, author and journalist<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;While many of you \u2014 and many around the world \u2014 were ripping through the latest Harry Potter, I was reading Paul Theroux\u2019s Dark Star Safari. It\u2019s an unusual choice for me because it is 497 pages long. Usually, I figure any book that is over 300 pages happens because the author doesn\u2019t have a good editor. But I made an exception in this case.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Julie Freeman, president, International Association of Business Communicators<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Ratio of the number of words in the last State of the Union Address to those in George Washington\u2019s first: 5:1.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Harper\u2019s Index<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Good things, when short, are twice as good.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Baltasar Gracian, baroque prose writer and philosopher<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;No more Jack London novels. We need to be USA Today.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Mark Hume, PR pro at Verizon Wireless<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Star Vision is printed on paper, not spandex. We must adhere to word counts and deadlines.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Patricia Jones, TDS Employee Communications<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5> &#8220;What you don\u2019t play can be more important than what you do play.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Thelonius Monk, American jazz pianist and composer<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;If any man will draw up his case, and put his name at the foot of the first page, I will give him an immediate reply. Where he compels me to turn over the sheet, he must wait my leisure.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;The point of good writing is knowing when to stop.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 L.M. Montgomery, Canadian author, best known for her novel <em>Anne of Green Gables<\/em><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Life would be better with a half-hour less of everything \u2014 shorter flights, shorter speeches, shorter voice mails, and shorter dinners.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Carlos Mota, special projects editor for <em>Elle Decor<\/em> magazine<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Classical composer<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books \u2014 what other men do not say in whole books.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, German philosopher, cultural critic and poet<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Brevity is the soul of lingerie.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Dorothy Parker, American poet, short story writer, critic and satirist<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Let me explain. No, there is too much.

The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Robert Southey, an English poet of the Romantic school<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 William Strunk Jr., author, <em>The Elements of Style<\/em><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Kurt Vonnegut, author of <em>Slaughterhouse-Five<\/em> and other novels<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;Whenever I was spoken to about bad writing, it was because of a lack of clarity or for saying something that obviously pretended to know something I had no right to know. That sort of thing. Ever since, I\u2019ve found straightforwardness congenial, and it\u2019s made my books very short.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h6>\u2014 Kurt Vonnegut, author of <em>Slaughterhouse-Five<\/em> and other novels<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>&#8220;The story of the creation was told in 200 words.
