You need not expect to get your book right the first time. Go to work and revamp or rewrite it. God only exhibits his thunder and lightning at intervals, and so they always command attention. These are God’s adjectives. You thunder and lightning too much; the reader ceases to get under the bed, by and by.Letter to Orion Clemens, 23 March 1878
This quote really grabbed my attention. Mark Twain compares adjectives to God's thunder and lightning. Adjectives, which are powerful and descriptive words, should be used sparingly. When they are used, they need to grab the reader's attention immediately. Powerful adjectives should almost scare the reader, making them hide under their beds. If they are used too often, adjectives become boring and go overlooked. If thunder and lightning happened all the time, they wouldn't be exciting, just boring occurrences. Adjectives act the same way. If used too often they don't startle the reader, they just become another word in the sentence.

I agree with what yo say. I think that adjectives when used to often will lose their meaning. I also agree that adjectives can be very powerful. I also think that they should be used to catch the readers attention.
