The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between ones real and ones declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. – George Orwell
I have always been on the side of the heretics, against those who burned them, because the heretics so often turned out to be right….Dead, but right. – Edward R. Murrow
