The safest words are always those which bring us most direct

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to communication, the most effective and harmless words are often the ones that are based on factual and objective information. By focusing on presenting facts, there is less room for subjective interpretation or miscommunication. When we stick to the truth, we can avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, or the potential for conveying false or misleading information. In a world of abundant opinions and subjective perspectives, relying on facts can contribute to clear and reliable communication.

The way to rock oneself back into writing is this. First gentle exercise in the air. Second the reading of good literature. It is a mistake to think that literature can be produced from the raw. One must get out of life...one must become externalised; very, very concentrated, all at one point, not having to draw upon the scattered parts of one's character, living in the brain.
