Ponderful

“In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty."
- Phil Ochs

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary"

—  James Nicoll, 1990
