In Praise Of Minimalism

Don’t use two words, when one will do. Pretend you are writing a blurb for a book jacket, and not a college thesis.
 
A good cook will use garlic sparingly and a gifted writer will use adjectives judiciously. Comprende?
 
“I love you”, three words, when spoken from the heart, are more precious than a multitude of speeches. Love is in the tilt of the head and the sparkle in the eyes — not in the eloquence of your words.
 
“I’m sorry, two words, when sincerely uttered, are more valuable than a dozen roses.
 
Please be succinct in your comments.
 
Thanks.
