Something To Think About

I have quotes of the day on my Google homepage and this one made such an impact on me that I copied it, that was a month ago or more, for some reason I pulled it up today, maybe it just seemed more relevant today than before.

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
