Reading

Every so many years I start to read Gertrude Stein. Now I am reading The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.  It is amazing balancing between her self and the other person.

This is from the book How to Write.
I love this.
Clarity is of no importance because nobody listens and nobody knows what you mean no matter what you mean, nor how clearly you mean what you mean. But if you have vitality enough of knowing enough of what you mean, somebody and sometime and sometimes a great many will have to realize that you know what you mean and so they will agree that you mean what you know, what you know you mean, which is as near as anybody can come to understanding anyone.
