| Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne. | Quentin Crisp (1908-1999) |
| The more syllables a euphemism has, the further divorced from reality it is | George Carlin (1937-) |
| Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head | Quentin Crisp (1908-1999) |
