“‘We’re destroying words — scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone…It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.’”
Aldous Huxley, 1984 (Chapter Five, spoken by Syme)

“These are the seductive voices of the night; the Sirens, too, sang that way. It would be doing them an injustice to think that they wanted to seduce; they knew they had claws and sterile wombs, and they lamented this aloud. They could not help it if their laments sounded so beautiful.”
Franz Kafka, “The Silence of the Sirens”
