Excerpt from Love and Other Stories: From De Maupassant
Whatever may be the thing one wishes to say, there is only one phrase to express it, only one verb to animate its and only one adjective to qualify it. One must seek until one finds this phrase, this verb and this adjective; and one must never be content with less, never have recourse to even happy frauds (supercheries) or buffooneries of language, in order to avoid the difficulty.
