  • The inflated style is itself a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.

    George Orwell, Keith Gessen (2009). “All Art Is Propaganda: Critical Essays”, p.282, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Conversation is a traffick; and if you enter into it, without some stock of knowledge, to ballance the account perpetually betwixtyou,--the trade drops at once: and this is the reasonwhy travellers have so little [good] conversation with natives,--owing to their [the natives'] suspicionthat there is nothing to be extracted from the conversationworth the trouble of their bad language.

  • With today's movies, if we took out all the bad language, we'd go back to silent films.

  • When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em. No... you had the right answer this afternoon, but the wrong reasons. Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it. Hotheadedness isn’t.

    "To Kill a Mockingbird". Book by Harper Lee, July 11, 1960.
  • We use so much bad language that it forms a barrier between ourselves and the truth.

  • I learned a long time ago that you don't have to go around using bad language and trying to hurt people to show how macho you are. That stuff won't get you anywhere, it just shows lack of vocabulary and character.

    Bobby Bowden, Bill Smith (1994). “More than just a game”, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • A mind can be overthrown by words; that's the point. What is happening to the brain of a person who uses the passive, who writes, 'Delay should not be allowed to take place' instead of 'Hurry'? The user of the passive verb doesn't want a universe in which responsible agents do their acts. You see? Bad language ultimately is IMMORAL.

    Writing   Brain   Mind  
  • I am committed to writing appropriate books for the middle grades. This means no bad language, no gratuitous or explicit violence, and no sexual content beyond what you might find in a PG-rated movie – expressions of who likes whom, holding hands, and perhaps the occasional kiss. The idea that we should treat sexual orientation itself as an adults-only topic, however, is absurd. Non-heterosexual children exist. To pretend they do not, to fail to recognize that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing, and bad citizenship.

  • War of the Worlds is rated PG-13. Much of the earth's population is wiped out, leaving very little time for sex or bad language.

    Sex   War   Leaving  
    "Another Terror Attack, but Not by Humans" by A. O. Scott, movies2.nytimes.com. June 29, 2005.

  • A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. 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. In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics'. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.

    Lying   Latin   Real

  • The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things - bad language and whatever - it's all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition.

    "Counterculture Comedian George Carlin Dies at 71". www.foxnews.com. June 23, 2008.
  • He left Chainsaw behind, much to her irritation. Ronan didn't want her to learn any bad language.

    Maggie Stiefvater (2013). “The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, Book 2)”, p.188, Scholastic Inc.
  • 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 squirting out ink.

  • Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they're not attracting attention with it.

    Harper Lee (1960). “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD”
  • Language is our way of communicating what we want and who we are. By using bad language, we diminish the divine spark within us that defines our humanity.

    Wise   Wisdom   Humanity  
    Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Stewart Vogel (1999). “The Ten Commandments: The Significance of God's Laws in Everyday Life”, p.69, Dr. Laura Schlessinger
