Here’s Jeffrey Zeldman on the courage to stop:

Brevity was always a discipline. Now it’s a statement. When everything around you is excessive by default, choosing fewer words takes courage. It says: I thought about this. I edited. I respected your time more than I needed to show my work.

Made me think of Blaise Pascal’s classic:

The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.
