"The chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words." -- Hippocrates
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts." -- Strunk & White, "The Elements of Style"
