A quote I like:
I like long and unusual words, and anybody who does not share my tastes is
not compelled to read me. Policemen and politicians are under some
obligation to make themselves comprehensible to the intellectually
stunted, but not I. Let my prose be tenebrous and rebarbative; let my
pennyworth of thought be muffled in gorgeous habilements; lovers of Basic
English will look to me in vain.
