Russ Rymer

“How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?”
E.M. Forster

“Linguists are no different from any other people who spend more than nineteen hours a day pondering the complexities of grammar and its relationship to practically everything else in order to prove that language is so inordinately complicated that it is impossible in principle for people to talk.”
Ronald Langacker

“Language is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
William Gibson

“The tongue of man is a twisty thing.”
Homer
