Albert Einstein, on writing.
Two things stand out:
1) Focus on clarity: Make your ideas as understandable as possible, and don't worry about beauty.
2) Repeat yourself if you need to: Difficult concepts need to be repeated, but your ideas should always feel fresh to the reader

Richard Hamming, one of the top scientists of the 20th century, said that good ideas aren't enough.
Everybody's busy, so writers must present their ideas well too. He said: "You have to sell it... If they don't stop and read it, you won't get credit."
