“Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”
Henry Miller

John Steinbeck
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
John Steinbeck

Douglas Adams
“It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.”
Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

Steve  Martin
“The dictionary is a perfect example of overalphabetization, with its harsh rules and every little word neatly in place. It almost makes me want to go on a diet of grapes and waste away to nothing.”
Steve Martin

George Orwell
“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, Politics and the English Language
