Quoted For Truth Quotes

“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible.

Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness”
― George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

“Philo Vance
Needs a kick in the pance.”

“For the most part, we live in a bat-shit crazy world.”
