They clichés will construct your sentences for you - even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent - and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.

Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.

Free speech is my right to say what you don't want to hear.

Using clichés is a substitute for thinking

Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.

A humanitarian is always a hypocrite.

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. Never use the passive voice where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
