You should seek what to write
Rather than how to write it
And even that not for the purpose of writing
But of feeling it
That you make thus, what you felt more of your own
When you notice a style that is too careful and polished
You may be sure that mind is no less absorbed in petty things!
Really great folks - speak informally and easily
Whatever they say - they say with assurance- rather than with pain!
Seneca
Letters from a stoic
