George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," 1946

This is worth reading lest we forget how powerful words and symbols can become. Hidden in our own psyche and genetic material are the unknown forces of language that like sleeping dragons can consume our consciousness as easily as a train racing across in front of us.
