“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”
– George Orwell, 1946
“The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.”
– Ludwig Wittgenstein,1953
