Pierre Bourdieu
“The entire destiny of modern linguistics is in fact determined by Saussure's inaugural act through which he separates the ‘external’ elements of linguistics from the ‘internal’ elements, and, by reserving the title of linguistics for the latter, excludes from it all the investigations which establish a relationship between language and anthropology, the political history of those who speak it, or even the geography of the domain where it is spoken, because all of these things add nothing to a knowledge of language taken in itself. Given that it sprang from the autonomy attributed to language in relation to its social conditions of production, reproduction and use, structural linguistics could not become the dominant social science without exercising an ideological effect, by bestowing the appearance of scientificity on the naturalization of the products of history, that is, on symbolic objects.”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“[T]he mere impulse of appetite is slavery, while obedience to a law which we prescribe to ourselves is liberty.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

Lang Leav
“When words run dry,

We are on par.

He just is,
I just am
and we just are”
Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

John Mark Green
“And if we never visit Paris, that's okay. Your heart is my exotic destination every day.”
John Mark Green

Leonardo da Vinci
“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
Leonardo da Vinci
