It’s a good question if you’re unfamiliar with this quote.
Once you get to a certain depth of vocabulary, and basic level of skill in writing, it’s easy to write a lot of text.
You can sort of “talk around” your central point, adding reams and reams of text, sketching out your point in a crude outline, eventually arriving at a complete picture or just stupefying your audience into submission.
This kind of communication is evidence of “thinking out loud,” where you know the vibe of what you’re trying to say, but figure out your logic at the same time as you’re saying/writing it.
Especially in writing, this would be considered a first draft. If you take the time to think about what you’re trying to say then you can often refine/reduce your message to a more respectful length (a shorter one).

tl;dr easy say lot meh, hard say little good
It is a paradox, but the implication is that bottling up your feelings consumes more of your time then taking the time to properly vent them.
