Ah I've finally found one of my favorite Discworld quotes (or passage, if you like):
Jeremy always liked the moment when he had a clock in pieces, with every wheel and spring carefully laid out on the black velvet cloth in front of him. It was like looking at Time, dismantled, controllable, every part of it understood... He wished his life was like that. It would be nice to reduce it to bits, spread them all out on the tavle, clean and oil them properly and put them together so that they coiled and spun as they ought to. But sometimes it seemed that the life of Jeremy had been assambled by a not very competent craftsman, who had allowed a numbet of small but important things to go ping into the corners of the room. Terry Pratchett - Thief Of Time (also my favorite book of the series so far)

Weasel words are the words of the powerful and the treacherous and the unfaithful, spies, assassins and thieves. Bureaucrats and ideologues love them. Tyrants cannot do without them. The Newspeak of George Orwells 1984 is an invention, but also a satire on real states such as the Soviet Union where death from starvation and abuse in slave camps was recorded by officials as "failure of the heart muscle" Were any five words ever more melancholy than this?".....Don Watson (author of Weasel words and Death watch)
