James Thurber Quote

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.


Memo to The New Yorker (1959)


When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.
