Adjectives And Adverbs Quotes

• Todas las personas del mundo -que no son ermitaños ni mudos- hablan palabras. Hablan distintos idiomas, pero hablan palabras. Dicen: "¿Cómo estás?" o "No me encuentro bien" en todo el mundo. Estas palabras comunes -estos elementos comunes que tenemos entre nosotros- el escritor tiene que coger algunos verbos y sustantivos y pronombres y adjetivos y adverbios y ordenarlos de forma que suenen frescos.

• Cross out as many adjectives and adverbs as you can. ... It is comprehensible when I write: "The man sat on the grass," because it is clear and does not detain one's attention. On the other hand, it is difficult to figure out and hard on the brain if I write: "The tall, narrow-chested man of medium height and with a red beard sat down on the green grass that had already been trampled down by the pedestrians, sat down silently, looking around timidly and fearfully." The brain can't grasp all that at once, and art must be grasped at once, instantaneously.

Pero lo mismo ocurre con las frases que escribo: suprimo adjetivos y adverbios y reduzco la descripción al mínimo.

• I think the best way to put it is that newspictures are the noun and the verb; our kind of photography is the adjective and adverb. The newspicture is a single frame; ours, a subject viewed in series. The newspicture is dramatic, all subject and action. Ours shows what's back of the action.
