Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born... ~ Aldous Huxley Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things. ~ Aldous Huxley

Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
~ Aldous Huxley

-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

-- Noah Webster
