Quotations regarding 'Jargon'

Choose a letter: 
Yet Aristotle's excellence of substance, so far from being associated with the grand style, is associated with something that at times comes perilously near jargon.
Irving Babbitt, American Critic (1865-1933)
Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of a profession.
Kingman Brewster, Jr., American Educator (1919-1988)
Aim for brevity while avoiding jargon.
Edsger Dijkstra, Dutch Scientist (1930-2002)
You must learn to talk clearly. The jargon of scientific terminology which rolls off your tongues is mental garbage.
Martin H. Fischer, -
Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon.
David Ogilvy, English Businessman (1911-1999)
The jargon of sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.
Ezra Pound, American Poet (1885-1972)
I prefer the honest jargon of reality to the outright lies of books.
Jean Rostand, French Scientist (1894-1977)
I think we invent jargon because it saves times talking to one-another.
John M. Smith, -
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.
Anne Stevenson, American Poet
