But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

Human language... prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand.
Language is wild - you can't fence it or tell it what to do - and it's the same with people. Even under the worst excesses of Stalinism or consumerism, the human spirit will still express itself.
Language is handy, but we humans have social and emotional connections that transcend words and are communicated - and understood - without conscious thought.
All human language draws its nature and value from the fact that it both comes from the Word of God and is chosen by God to manifest himself. But this relationship is secret and incomprehensible, beyond the bounds of reason and analysis.
What gives it its human character is that the individual through language addresses himself in the role of the others in the group and thus becomes aware of them in his own conduct.
It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.
The development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people.
Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.
Language is froth on the surface of thought.
Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
