“If things were up to you, if you were the ruler of the world, languages would be unspoken. Instead of speaking, people would carefully consider the thoughts they want to express and then write them down. That way, there would be no misunderstandings based on unintended tonal shifts, unintended emphasis, unintended facial expressions.”

“The library is really nice and really handsome. Its dark wooden bookshelves house rows upon rows of lovely-looking books. The books are not bound in protective plastic jackets like they are in your local library. Instead, they are bound in fabric. The mere sight of them makes you want to twirl around in a marveling manner, like people do in films.”
