I'm finding quotes very useful these days, as I wring words out of my brain like dirty water out of a cleaning rag. They put it better then I can at the moment. Here's one from Elie Wiesel ...
"Acutely aware of the poverty of my means, language became obstacle. At every page I thought, 'That's not it.' So I began again with other verbs and other images. No, that wasn't it either. But what exactly was that it I was searching for? It must have been all that eludes us, hidden behind a veil so as not to be stolen, usurped and trivialized. Words seemed weak and pale."
