Summary

This quote suggests that profound impact can be found in brevity. Similar to how concentrated sunbeams have a stronger burning effect, condensed words have the potential to have a deeper and more resonant impact. It implies that concise and well-crafted words, when used effectively, can leave a lasting impression or convey powerful messages in a more impactful manner. This quote encourages the idea that quality over quantity matters, and that sometimes less is truly more when it comes to communication.
