Maya Written Language

Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)

“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.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
