Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.

Language is one component of the human cognitive capacity which happens to be fairly amenable to enquiry. So we know a good deal about that.

It's a difficult competition against silence, because silence is a perfect language, the only language which says with no words.

It is time for dead languages to be quiet.

You who speak languages, you are such liars.

There are two languages: one as things seem to us and the other of knowledge.

Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing.

I want a language that speaks the truth.

Silence is ever speaking; it is the perennial flow of language.

Some languages expand not only your ability to speak to different people but what you're able to think.
