C. S. Lewis
1624 citations

The purpose of all opprobrious language is, not to describe, but to hurt - even when, like Hamlet, we make only the shadow-passes of a soliloquised combat. We call the enemy not what we think he is but what we think he would least like to be called. ✨ C. S. Lewis (2013). Studies in Words, p.122, Cambridge University Press
