Just thought I'd put in my oar on this quotation business....
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!
--Calvin, in "Calvin and Hobbes"
