When you see the poet laureate saying that every child should have read Ulysses
and that you're just giving up on

Nick Hornby
True creativity often starts where language ends.
Arthur Koestler
It is a mistake to use highfalutin language when you advertise to uneducated people. I once used the word

another headline, I used the word ineffable,
only to discover that I didn't know what it meant myself.
David Ogilvy
