When Mark Twain said
The difference between the right word and the almost right word
is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug,
he may have caused an uproar amongst the lightning bug lobby.
If more important words were ever written about
the writing process, they have yet to be translated
into the English language.
But lightning bugs sure can be cute.
Nine more Twain quotes–all bug-free–
can be found here.
