creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles

“If
language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said
is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone,
morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand
about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said.
This matters above everything.”
-- Confucius

Whatever it is, that makes it okay for me to hate them, to try to get some of
their land or some of their resources. ~ John
Denver |
A
different language is a different vision of life.
~Federico Fellini
