Greg CurtisThe definition of Brevity: That which people believe would be a virtue - in me!
About This Quote
The definition of brevity is a short sentence that says a lot. Brevity is also often used in poetry, but the meaning of the word is often misunderstood. The word brevity refers to an efficient way of saying something - not necessarily a concise one, which means that brevity can be very descriptive and meaningful. The word brevity comes from the Latin verb brevitare, which means "to shorten." The word brevius (short) was added to the English vocabulary in the late 1500s. The word was originally used to mean "a short poem, saying or writing".
