"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."
Anton Chekhov
I really like this quote because I agree with it so much! :)
When reading or writing a story, I majorly prefer showing over telling. To just say, "her eyes were blue" isn't nearly as descriptive as, "her eyes were like the ocean's waters." In my opinion, showing something with an action gives a much clearer picture than just saying it happened.
What do you think? :)
