Language is an archaeological vehicle... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.

The knowledge of the ancient languages is mainly a luxury.
The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.
I have never designed a language for its own sake.
I have my own definition of minimalism, which is that which is created with a minimum of means.
The first of these phases is that of grammar, invented by the Greeks and carried on unchanged by the French. It never had any philosophical view of a language as such.
