Trinny Woodall
 

On the pavement
of my trampled soul
the steps of madmen
weave the prints of rude crude words.

 
Vladimir Mayakovsky
 

Words are a medium that reduces reality to abstraction for transmission to our reason, and in their power to corrode reality inevitably lurks the danger that the words will be corroded too. It might be more appropriate, in fact, to liken their action to excessive stomach fluids that digest and gradually eat away the stomach itself.
Many people will express disbelief that such a process could already be at work in a person's earliest years. But that, beyond doubt, is what happened to me personally, thereby laying the ground for two contradictory tendencies within myself. One was the determination to press ahead loyally with the corrosive function of words, and to make that my life's work. The other was the desire to encounter reality in some field where words should play no part at all.

 
Yukio Mishima
 

I was so free with him as not to mince the matter.

 
Miguel de Cervantes
