"Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain." -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all." -- Winston Churchill
"Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction." -- Albert Einstein
"Do not accustom yourself to use big words for little matters. A man who uses a great many words to express his meaning is like a bad marksman who instead of aiming a single stone at an object takes up a handful and throws at it in hopes he may hit." -- Samuel Johnson
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." -- C.S. Lewis
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -- Leonardo da Vinci
