Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places

by Ursula K. Le Guin

When a thing is said right it is said right, whether in prose or poetry, formal discourse or cursing the cat. If it is said wrong, if it lacks quality, if it is stupid poetry or careless prose, you may paraphrase it all you like; chances are you will improve it.

Well put!
