One day when I move into a place of my own in which I feel like I'm going to settle down for a couple of years, I will buy a printed copy of this book and put it in my bookshelves somewhere in my living room to remember how sacred and incredibly intelligent human minds are and how complicated and interesting the notion of "language" is in this world.
Please read and start with the very first chapter written by Saussure and see if you can help being amazed for a second.
