Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy. Edmund Burke
If time is money, it seems moral to save time, above all one's own, and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward. Theodor Adorno
There is nothing worse than being ashamed of parsimony or poverty. Titus Livius
Well I don't feel sectarian against sparseness, although I sometimes get a little chippy about this. I resent the way that a certain notion of parsimony has become the norm for skilful literary writing. China Mieville
