A quote I like:

  I like long and unusual words, and anybody who does not share my tastes is
  not compelled to read me. Policemen and politicians are under some
  obligation to make themselves comprehensible to the intellectually
  stunted, but not I. Let my prose be tenebrous and rebarbative; let my
  pennyworth of thought be muffled in gorgeous habilements; lovers of Basic
  English will look to me in vain.
