• En mi trato con mi hijo, mi latín y mi griego, mis logros y mi dinero no me ayudan en nada; pero tanta alma como tengo me sirve. Si soy voluntarioso, pone su voluntad contra la mía, una por una, y me deja, si me place, la degradación de vencerle por mi superioridad de fuerza. Pero si renuncio a mi voluntad, y obro por el alma, erigiéndola en árbitro entre nosotros dos, de sus jóvenes ojos sale la misma alma; él reverencia y ama conmigo.

• The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself.

  H. L. Mencken

• Escribir o incluso hablar inglés no es una ciencia, sino un arte. No hay palabras fiables. Quien escribe en inglés está inmerso en una lucha que no cesa ni siquiera durante una frase. Lucha contra la vaguedad, contra la oscuridad, contra la atracción del adjetivo decorativo, contra la invasión del latín y el griego y, sobre todo, contra las frases gastadas y las metáforas muertas que abarrotan el idioma.

  George Orwell

• I suppose there is no place in the world where snobbery is quite so ever-present or where it is cultivated in such refined and subtle forms as in an English public school. Here at least one cannot say that English ‘education’ fails to do its job. You forget your Latin and Greek within a few months of leaving school — I studied Greek for eight or ten years, and now, at thirty-three, I cannot even repeat the Greek alphabet — but your snobbishness, unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is, sticks by you till your grave.
