“The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo.”

“Those whose words are many have little grace.”

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

““People hear me talk about something and they realize that this is something they can talk about themselves.””

“Nós queremos falar uma linguagem para ser ouvida, uma linguagem comprometida com a ação.”

“Never tell them what you can show them.”

“Thơ là để nói chí hướng.”
