It has been some time, nearly three years, since I have posted a list of one-liners. These are short concepts, discussion points, stops and starts along the thought process which I catalog in our notebooks. They are an assortment of words and assimilated phrases I collect and assemble. What I particularly like about these snippets is their brevity. In the world of writing, as in cooking, brevity is essential and simplicity inspires.
