Michael Wood:The New York Times May - There's probably no such thing as entirely neutral language: I'm afraid bias-
free language is rarer than we like to believe. Not because we can't reach it, but because we don't want it enough, and
because most of our favorite prejudices are hidden from us. We think they're the truth. Offensive language is more than
bias; it's bias having a good time.

Oscar Wilde:Art and the Handicraftsman - There should be a law that no ordinary newspaper should be allowed to write
about art. The harm they do by their foolish and random writing would be impossible to overestimate, not to the artist
but to the public. Without them we would judge a man simply by his work; but at present the newspapers are trying
hard to induce the public to judge a sculptor by the way he treats his wife; a painter by the amount of his income and a
poet by the colour of his necktie.

the language which the field and the work-yard made.

(John) McWhorter:The Word on the Street - We cannot stop language from changing, and so there will always be
things that "people are saying lately." The people reinterpreting the language will naturally tend to be young, and thus

"breaking of rules," because this is the sole way language has been changing since time immemorial.

puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.
