CASSIUS: Did Cicero say anything?
CASCA: Ay, he spoke Greek.
CASSIUS: To what effect?
CASCA Nay, an I tell you that, I’ll ne’er look you i’ th’ face again. But those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads. But for mine own part, it was Greek to me.

The poor man’s conscience is clear; yet he is ashamed. His character is irreproachable, yet he is neglected and despised. He feels himself out of the sight of others, groping in the dark. Mankind takes no notice of him: he rambles and wanders unheeded. In the midst of a crowd, at church, in the market, at a play, at an execution or coronation, he is in as much obscurity as he would be in a garret or a cellar. He is not disapproved, censured, or reproached: he is only not seen. This total inattention is to him, mortifying, painful and cruel. […] To be wholly overlooked, and to know it, are intolerable.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)

🧐 Ah yes, the "revolutionary" #Nebu, because what we all need is a #spreadsheet editor for an obscure system no one uses 🌟. It calculates like your grandma on a calculator while reciting Pi, and if you blink you might miss its lightning-speed launch 🚀—faster than your Excel crash recovery! 🙄

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1993-02-11)

I may be a lonely, misunderstood genus, but i still crave my fools. I love a good time, even if it’s fucking stupid. The dumber the better.

A quotation from Orwell, George:
«
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.

Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity.

A quotation from Horace:
«
Oft before Agamemnon brave men warred;
But all unwept they lie in endless night,
Lacking, to deck their deeds with light,
Song of a heaven-taught bard.
[Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona
multi; sed omnes illacrimabiles
urgentur ignotique longa
nocte, carent quia vate sacro.]
