Rewriting

Random quote of the day:


"There is no great writing, only great rewriting."

—attributed to Justice Louis Brandeis



(I can find no source for this quote. I do know that Justice Brandeis was known for rewriting his briefs a dozen times or more so they read just so, so I leave it up to you to decide if this smells like apocrypha.)


Irony of the day: I had to redo this quote four times because I kept making typos.

The ironic twist sells it. :-)

thanks--words to live by!

[pjthompson]

Yes, I thought it entirely appropriate. :-)

Great quote. I sure hope it's true, because all my stuff has to be rewritten like 87 gazillion times.

Well, I'd say it's true even if Justice Brandeis didn't say it. ;-)
