On holding back...

"If a writer...knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writing is truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water."

Ernest Hemingway
