It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance
word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase,
while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down,
once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become
a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a
consequence.
