Famous Quotes & Sayings

Napoleon Bonaparte

William Zinsser

Noise is the typographical error and the poorly designed page...Ambiguity is noise. Redundancy is noise. Misuse of words is noise. Vagueness is noise. Jargon is noise.

William Shakespeare

In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
