Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on.
Meaning of the quote
The quote by American actor Buddy Ebsen means that when you write fiction, you can write anything you want, as long as it makes the paper you're writing on more valuable. In other words, the most important thing is to create an interesting and engaging story, not to worry about sticking to certain rules or limits. The value of the paper comes from the quality of the writing, not from following a specific set of guidelines.
