"Short words . . . come from down deep in us -- from our hearts or guts, not from the brain. For they deal for the most part with things that move and sway us, that make us act." Frank Gelett Burgess, "Short Words Are Words of Might" (1939), in Weigh the Word 104, 107 (Charles B. Jennings et al. eds., 1957).
