Less is always more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.
The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.
There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.
I think we're still in a muddle with our language, because once you get words and a spoken language it gets harder to communicate.
Sometimes there is a greater lack of communication in facile talking than in silence.
The more language is a living operation, the less we are aware of it. Thus it follows from the self-forgetfulness of language that its real being consists in what is said in it.
Less is only more where more is no good.
We tend to look through language and not realize how much power language has.
Words are our life. We are human because we use language. So I think we are less human when we use less language.
I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.
