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
We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise. – Natalie Clifford Barney
Im officially near-famous. If youve got four year old kids and youve got cable, then youve got no choice but to know who I am. But if youre one of my peers – a 26-year old guy who lives in Manhattan – you have no idea who I am. Im only famous if youre four. – Steve Burns
