Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.

No line, no image, no thought can be left general. Each must be specific and personal. Your work is not complete until this is so.

It would have been the ongoing opening up the country to outsiders and expanding the government to take care of outsiders, who are called immigrants.
