Like stones, words are laborious and unforgiving, and the fitting of them together, like the fitting of stones, demands great patience and strength of purpose and particular skill. - Edm

This quote speaks to me. As in a stone wall, there is no room for excess or illfitting words in the best of writing. Sometimes we have to adjust the words to better fit them in to place.
