People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?
- L M Montgomery
It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla, when just being treated as if you were is so nice...Well, anyway, when I grow up, I'm always going to talk to little girls as if they were, too, and I'll never laugh when they use big words.

What the hell kind of revolution have you got just tossing out big words that working-class people can't understand?
- Haruki Murakami
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I'm working class. Revolution or not, the working class will just keep on scraping a living in the same old shitholes. And what is a revolution? It sure as

He read a lot. He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often.

He always had to know the absolute right answer before he could go on to the next thing.
