language
“To speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.”
“Language most shows a man; speak, that I may see thee.”
“Words are like eyeglasses: they blur everything that they do not make clear.”
“Language is the dress of thought.”
“Words are wise men's counters; they do but reckon by them.”
“Language fits over experience like a straitjacket.”
“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”
