What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.

  • -- Mos Def MOS定义

我从我喜欢的作家身上学到的是他们的经济能力——运用语言达到有效目的的能力。让某人阅读并看到它的能力,或者让某人用一张张文字来描绘整个视觉形象的能力——这很神奇。
