my words are very easy to understand, very easy to put into practice. but you can't "understand" them, can't put them into "practice."words have their ruler. events have their origins. people who can't understand this can't understand me.the ones who do are few. they wear coarse cloth and carry jade in their breasts.she doesn't hold on so she doesn't lose -----------------------------------------------------an excerpt from the new york times: " [they appreciate] language as an extraordinary tool, probably the most extraordinary tool ever developed. but in the grand evolutionary scheme of things, in which humans are just one animal among many, and not always the most successful one, language looks like quite a minor phenomenon, [they feel]. .....and emphatically reject the idea that language and thought are, deeply, one: that language we use reflects thought's innate structure; that thought can take only the form in which we humans now know it; that there could be no thought without language. moreover, the new is the new!! it is so exciting to to think about revolution in science leading to revolutions in thought, and even in what it seems, to be uninitiated, to be "raw feeling." that, by comparison, old words and old sentiments seem dull indeed." - - - - - - - - finally, i've found someone who put my "raw feeling" into "language" comprehendable, at least, to some.
