Language vs. Reality

But not all languages are equal. Languages are theories. In their vocabulary and grammar, they embody substantial assertions about the world.

The limits of language.

My emphasis on language also comes from a deep conviction that language shapes our thoughts. You cannot answer a question that you cannot ask, and you cannot ask a question that you have no words for.

Language is a tool for self-expression and must never become a decorative end of its own.

Words bend our thinking to infinite paths of self-delusion, and the fact that we spend most of our mental lives in brain mansions built of words means that we lack the objectivity necessary to see the terrible distortion of reality which language brings.
