Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)

"We have all barred from our plays the digressions, the set speeches, and what we in France like to call the "poésie de réplique"; all this chitchat debases a language.  It seems to us that we shall recapture a little of the pomp of our ancient tragedies if we practice the most rigorous economy of language."
